| Turkey warns Russia over airspace violation |
| 2015-10-06 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... said on Monday it had summoned Russia's ambassador to protest the violation of its airspace by one of its warplanes and was told it was a "mistake" that would not happen again. Turkey, which has the second-largest army in NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... , scrambled two F-16 jets on Saturday after a Russian warplane crossed into its airspace near the province of Hatay, which borders Syria, the foreign ministry said. In a second incident, the Turkish military said a MiG-29 fighter jet -- an aircraft used by both Russia and Syria -- had harassed two of its F-16s by locking its radar on to them on Sunday as they patrolled the border. Speaking in a live interview on HaberTurk TV, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu accused Moscow of escalating the Syrian crisis by entering the conflict. |
