Turkish PM: Downed drone was Russian-made
2015-10-20
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A drone shot down by Turkish warplanes in Turkish air space near Syria on Friday was Russian-made, but Moscow has told Ankara the unmanned aircraft did not belong to Russia, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday.

The drone was downed on Friday after it continued on its flight path despite three warnings, the Turkish military said. Earlier this month, Russian jets violated Turkish air space on two occasions and Ankara warned it would respond if such incursions recurred.

"The downed drone is Russian-made but Russia has told us in a friendly manner
Friendly like Uncle Joe, or like Uncle Joe Stalin?
that it doesn't belong to them," Davutoglu said in an interview with Turkish broadcaster AHaber.
