أوغلو يعتبر ان من "واجب" تركيا الدفاع عن حدودها وبوتين يؤكد أن لاسقاط الطارة "عواقب خطيرة"
Read this story in English
برر رئيس الوزراء التركي احمد داود اوغلو قرار القوات المسلحة الثلاثاء اسقاط طائرة عسكرية روسية تقول انقرة انها انتهكت المجال الجوي للبلاد، مؤكدا ان من "واجب" تركيا القيام بكل ما بوسعها لحماية حدودها.
وقال داود اوغلو "يجب ان يعلم الجميع ان من حقنا المعترف به دوليا ومن واجبنا الوطني اتخاذ جميع التدابير اللازمة ضد كل من ينتهك مجالنا الجوي او حدودنا".
واضاف في كلمة القاها في اليوم الوطني للمدرسين ان "امتنا الموقرة يجب ان تعرف اننا لن نتردد لحظة، في اتخاذ التدابير الضرورية".
بدوره،رأى الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين الثلاثاء ان قرار تركيا اسقاط مقاتلة روسية قرب الحدود السورية سيخلف "عواقب خطيرة" على العلاقات بين البلدين واصفا ذلك بانه "طعنة في الظهر".
وقال خلال لقاء في سوتشي (جنوب روسيا) مع العاهل الاردني الملك عبد الله الثاني "بالتاكيد سنحلل كل ما جرى. والاحداث المأساوية التي وقعت اليوم ستخلف عواقب خطيرة على العلاقات الروسية-التركية".
من جانب اخر اكد بوتين ان المقاتلة الروسية "سوخوي-24" التي اسقطها الطيران التركي قرب الحدود السورية لم تكن تهدد تركيا ، مشيرا الى انها اصيبت في الاراضي السورية على بعد كيلومتر من الحدود التركية.
وأوضح "طائرتنا وطيارونا لم يكونوا يشكلوا اي تهديد لتركيا" مضيفا ان المقاتلة تحطمت على بعد اربعة كلم من الحدود.
واسقط الطيران الحربي التركي صباح الثلاثاء قاذفة روسية من طراز سوخوي 24 شاركت في العمليات الى جانب قوات نظام دمشق شمال اللاذقية، في أقصى شمال غرب سوريا، قرب الحدود التركية.
واكدت أنقرة ان الطائرة انتهكت مجالها الجوي وتم تحذيرها مرارا لكن موسكو نفت ذلك بشكل قاطع مشيرة الى ان الطائرة اصيبت في الاراضي السورية على بعد كيلومتر من الحدود التركية.
والحادث هو الاخطر بين تركيا وروسيا منذ بداية التدخل العسكري الروسي دعما للرئيس السوري بشار الاسد قبل نحو شهرين.

Just to clarify, the Su-24 is a strategic bomber and does not carry any air-to-air weapons. They usually fly their missions with fighter escorts for protection. In this case, since ISIS doesn't have an air force, they probably were conducting raids without fighter escorts so it became an easy target for the Turkish F-16. So I can understand why Putin calls it backstabbing.

you people are a bunch of trolls. " the Su-24 is a strategic bomber and does not carry any air-to-air weapons."
Now every troll becomes a military expert. A simple wikipedia search will tell you the SU 24 is "all-weather attack aircraft/interdictor " and "and provision for the latest guided weapons, including R-73 (AA-11 'Archer') air-to-air missiles."

Turkeys dams should be destroyed so 1/3 of Turkey will become overflooded.

tric, Erdogan wants to establish a neo ottoman empire, aimed at backing up ISIS and destroy all Christians and other minorites of the middle east.

I feel your pain, putin... i really do. Happy thanksgiving

"Also, the Russian plane was not on a mission to down Turkish planes."
When Israeli planes fly over Lebanon are they on a mission to down Lebanese planes? Sovereignty is relative when the iranian axis mouthpieces try to justify the unjustifiable.

Not another Russian plane blown to pieces by American technology...... How sad!!!

I don't see you barking at the Islamic Republic of Iran? Is it an Islamic state or a haven of moderation.

Putin got his ego bruised today. He will have to think twice before he makes his next move. He could find his air force blown out of the skies if he continues with his arrogance. He can tell Lebanon to close its airspace but surely he cannot tell Turkey what to do. The events today proved that.

سوريا تندد بـ"الاعتداء السافر" على سيادتها بعد اسقاط الطائرة الروسية.
ROFL hahahahaha!!!

Appropriate response by Russia is to support the Kurds in Iraq and Syria. That would make Erdowan constipated.

How does two planes shooting down one plane that didn't expect an attack prove anything?

you're missing the point as usual; the Russian plane and technology should have expected the impending danger.

The Russian army said a Russian soldier was killed during the search for the pilots of the downed plane in Syria.
a downed jet, two pilots dead, and one soldier dead; Good day for Putin.

tric 'turks .... promoted the European Islamization' The overwhelming majority of Europeans under Ottoman rule were never forced to convert. Contrast that to Muslims under Christian rule who were given choice between genocide (sometime they had not choice as genocide was the only option), conversion to Christianity or exile. Now with regard to the slaughter of Armenians in Turkey, that is the fault of the fascist militarists in the 'new Turk' movement (you know the ones that currently support Assad in Turkey) and not the Ottomans (which many accuse Erdodan of belonging to) who had very little influence at the time.

@sunniDemocrat.com Did you read my article?? Or are you picking on my use of 'new' Turk rather than the 'young' Turk!

I would like to thank our forever loyal friend bigqawmijohn for his frenzied impassioned defense of mother Syria and his vehement attacks on her enemies, as he always says lebanon's borders are fake carved from mother Syria by the colonial imperialists, she will be reunited one day

Tric Portugal ... How many Muslims and Jews were left in Portugal and Spain during the inquisition???? At the same time, the Ottoman empire had millions of Christians? Were the Ottoman the paragon of democracy? Definitely not! But they were infinitely better in their treatment of the Christian population than European Christians.

"Lavrov cancels Turkey.."
Poor old Sergei, having to spend thanksgiving without turkey.

Could some neocon reader of Nahar please tell me again about how stupid is Obama for refraining from engaging our military more in the Syrian War?? War is like marriage. Easy to get into, hard to live through and get out of. And if you do, then you become just like your spouse.

why isn't mowaten posting g under his "mowaten" name rather than these despicable trolls; we all know it is you;)

mowaten of iran, it was not your russian masters who bombed "hundreds of ISIS oil trucks", it was the US planes.
