A statement by the representative of the command of the Syrian Armed Forces states that the actions of the Turkish air defenses, which shot down the Syrian air force fighter over Kasab, are a "frank aggressive action."

Tayyip Erdogan also noted that Turkish aviation acted in accordance with accepted practice, and the reaction of Turkey to such incidents in the future "will be just as harsh."
