Press Service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation spreads the message that the Turkish military attaches were summoned to the main defense department of the country in connection with the strike by the Turkish air force on a Russian plane that took part in counter-terrorism measures in Syria. From the message of the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense:
Today at 9:30 am, a Russian aircraft carrying out combat missions to combat terrorism was shot down by a Turkish Air Force aircraft. The Russian plane did not cross the Turkish border and operated exclusively on facilities in Syria. The fighting of the Russian aviation were fought against illegal terrorist groups, which include a large number of militants from the North Caucasus of Russia.
Attempts by specialists from the Russian Defense Ministry to organize interaction with the Turkish side through emergency communications were unsuccessful.
What follows is a very mild formulation for the status of the defense department:
We consider the actions of the Turkish Air Force as unfriendly act.
It is extremely difficult to come up with a softer wording in this situation ...
The Ministry of Defense continues:
Currently, the Russian Ministry of Defense is developing a set of measures to respond to such incidents. Fighting against terrorists in Syria will continue.
Today, striking a Russian aircraft is one of the main topics of discussion in different countries. So, in Italy, Deputy Chairman of the Senate Roberto Calderoli, commenting on what happened, called Turkey "the Trojan horse of radical Islamists, which they use to shoot at the West." According to Roberto Calderali, Turkey officially entered the war on the side of ISIS today.
