Davutoglu: Syrian crisis should not become Russian-Turkish crisis

Defense Ministry spokesman Maj.-Gen.

“The question is what danger can be warded off in which way”, she said.

Russia’s defense ministry said it agreed in principle with US proposals on coordinating military flights in Syria.

USA and Russian officials met once by video conference late last week, before the Russian incursion into Turkish airspace.

For the US and Turkey, Russia’s intervention in Syria has been a source of great friction.

United States officials have said Russia’s moves in Syria poses a direct challenge to the Obama administration’s foreign policy on the Middle East.

The Kremlin voiced hope that the incident wouldn’t damage its friendly ties with Ankara.

“I think that Russian Federation will not want to spoil relations with Turkey”, President Erdogan said.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu warned on Wednesday that his country would not compromise on its border security.

France and Britain, NATO’s two main European powers, are understood to be willing to see the alliance use its new 5,000-strong rapid reaction force beyond North Atlantic Treaty Organisation borders, potentially helping stabilize post-conflict governments in Libya or Syria. The comments appeared to suggest that the Turkish air force is capable of intercepting fighter jets. “Our rules of engagement are clear”.

Turkey claims that a second Russian fighter aircraft has violated its airspace over the weekend. “The military intelligence we have indicates that; only two of the operations were against ISIL,” he said.

The Russian planes then left the Turkish airspace.

They also called on Russian Federation to cease its incursions.

“Incidents, accidents, may create risky situations,” he said.

“There’s a need to create a new coalition and force that is actually effective on the ground and performs the actual goal of fighting Daesh”, said Mohammed Naji, another aide to Amiri. The Syrian air force reportedly has a few MiG-29s. In addition, Russian Su-25, Su-34 jets attacked 8 militant sites in Homs province.

The weapons have been spotted between Homs and Idlib and west of Idlib.

Moscow has mainly targeted central and northwestern Syria, strategic regions that are the gateway to Assad’s strongholds in Damascus, and along the Mediterranean coast where Russian Federation has a naval base.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Wednesday the U.S.-led coalition has not agreed to cooperate with Russian Federation in the fight against the Islamic State and no collaboration is possible as long as Moscow continues to strike other targets.

Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday that “an attack on Turkey means an attack on Nato”.

The Observatory’s head Rami Abdulrahman said an assault launched by the army and its foreign allies on Wednesday in nearby areas of Hama province had so far failed to make significant gains, however. He also pointed to reports of a build-up of ships and ground troops in Syria. “Putin told him “Okay we will intervene. And to strive for a negotiated political solution to the conflict in Syria”.

According to Antonov, the mutual cooperation between Russian Federation and the United States on Syria has a huge potential.

“We find Russia’s request to “come together and explain” positive”.
