Syria crisis: Turkey accuses Putin of ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Latakia

Shaaban pointed out that a new system led by Russia is emerging that is characterized by a strategy built on respecting the global legitimacy and conventions, referring to the Russian veto repeatedly used at the Security Council that has prevented a Libyan scenario in Syria. “We warned our Israeli and American colleagues about these launches”.

Russian Federation has carried out its air campaign in Syria since September 30, using warplanes at an air base in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, as well as navy ships and long-range bombers flying from their bases in Russian Federation. Davutoglu said Russia’s bombing in the region also inflicts heavy damage on anti-Assad groups.

A USA defense official confirmed Russian Federation had notified Israel and the US of the airstrikes in advance.

Politics everywhere is a spectacle.

After the shelving of Putin’s year-end visit to Japan, the Japanese government is now looking into rearranging the Russian president’s trip for the first half of 2016, according to sources.

Russian Federation is gradually being drawn into an extended campaign in Syria. Sometimes it features computer-generated imagery (CGI).

Turkey claims that the Russian aircraft had violated Turkish airspace and was issued with ten warnings before being shot down.

Two terrorist strongholds around Raqqa, the de facto Syrian capital of the jihadist group were among targets destroyed as well as oil infrastructure, ammunition depots and a mine-making factory.

To Turks, this is about more than geopolitics and raw power; they consider Turkmen brother-peoples. But the win was clouded by the poor performance of Russian ground and air forces in what hadturned out to be a far messier and bloodier campaign than the Kremlin envisioned.

A Downing Street spokesman said that Mr Cameron expressed his condolences to Mr Putin over the death of the Russian pilot during the incident.

Putin noted that the new cruise missile can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear warheads.

Russian Federation has recovered the black box recording flight data from the fighter jet and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu showed the orange-painted box to Putin during a Kremlin meeting on Tuesday evening.

Putin’s hesitancy to rule out nuclear weapons against ISIS is a sentiment echoed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Eisenkot’s comments, which were made at a private event, come just days after Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon criticized the U.S. for its lack of involvement in the Middle East and said that America “can’t sit on the fence with regard to the Middle East and ISIS”. “We must analyze everything happening on the battlefield, how the weapons operate”. Both the Calibre missiles and the Kh-101 rockets are generally showing very good results.

“Naturally, we do not need that in fighting terrorists, and I hope we will never need it”, he said.
