Russian Federation not to wage war on Turkey

“As we have repeatedly made clear, we stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity of our North Atlantic Treaty Organisation ally, Turkey”, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during an emergency meeting on Tuesday with the allied country.

Following the recent downing of a Russian jet by Turkey at the Syrian Border, NATO is calling for an emergency meeting with its 28 allies. Mr Medvedev called for recommendations from government agencies to be submitted within two days.

In addition, Russia’s state-run consumer protection body said it had concerns about the quality and safety of children’s clothing, furniture and cleaning products originating from Turkey. In the southern Krasnodar region, local TV reported that 39 Turkish delegates at an agricultural exhibition were to be deported for visa violations. It is necessary to understand the speed of a bomber and F16 fighter. The Observatory says the warplanes that carried out Thursday’s airstrikes were Russian.

He lashed out at Russian Federation, accusing it of using its fight against the Islamic State group in Syria as a pretext to target opposition groups including the Turkmen, in a bid to strengthen Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The situation is also alarming because the Russian and Turkish presidents both pose as strong leaders and would be reluctant to back down and seek a compromise. “Russian Federation can’t do whatever it wants”. “Our planes shot down an unidentified plane only after it ignored our warnings”, he said. Despite comments from Sergei Rybakov, deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that Russian Federation “does not expect objectivity” from North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in its probing of what happened, Russian Federation is willing to engage on a de-conflicting agreement with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to avoid such incidents in future.

Putin responded to the plane’s downing by ordering the deployment of powerful long-range air defense missiles to a Russian air base in Syria. The details of the incident could not be assessed independently. Thursday’s report did not say when the ambush on Hendawi took place.

One of the Russian pilots was killed by militants in Syria after ejecting from the plane, while his crewmate was rescued by Syrian army commandos.

Russian attitudes towards Turkey, which were reasonably friendly a year ago, have turned cold with alarming speed. In September, Erdogan traveled to Moscow where he and Putin attended the opening of a new mosque, and they also met separately at the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit hosted by Turkey.

In Moscow several hundred young activists hurled stones and eggs at Turkey’s embassy and brandished anti-Turkish placards in a brief protest over the jet downing.

Russian legislators introduced a bill that would criminalise denying that the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 by the Ottoman Empire was a “genocide”.

Instead, Russia went into plausible deniability mode, at first claiming the plane was hit from the ground.

Those sanctions were imposed after Russian Federation annexed the Crimean Peninsula and backed separatist rebels in Ukraine’s south-east. Russian Federation has said it carries out air strikes only against terrorist organisations.

A statement on the Agriculture Ministry website said there would be “additional checks on the border and at production sites in Turkey” in response to what it said were “repeated violations of Russian standards by Turkish producers”. At the same time he discouraged “any kind of escalation”. This is irritating Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Erdogan said that the incident had “alarmed Ankara, as well”. “There could be mission creep where Russian Federation will get entangled in an unwinnable war”.
