Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that in case of violation of the airspace of the powers authorities will do the same, as with a domestic bomber, informs Russia Today. The country's leader also announced that the su-24 aircraft over Syria was shot down because of the "automatic reaction" of the Turkish armed forces on crossing the border.
Erdogan announced that he was disappointed at the reaction of the Russian Federation on the incident because it is not specifically associated with the crash. Also, the President stressed that Ankara upset at the reaction of Moscow on the situation with the su-24, as it believes its own strategic partner, reports RIA Novosti.
Erdogan also did not confirm the information that Turkey gets oil from terrorists "Islamic state". He announced that these complaints require evidence. "Claims that Turkey buys oil from Islamic state. It is well known, where we buy energy. Most of all from Russia. After that, from Iran, Azerbaijan, Northern Iraq. Let him justify that we buy from the "is". Those who accuse us in buying oil from Islamic state, let them prove it. If you are looking for a source of funding for ISIL, 1st, where to look, is towards the Assad regime and those who support it," said the Turkish head of the country.
Earlier Vladimir Putin has accused Ankara of betrayal of a downed su-24 and promised to punish the guilty. Recall, on November 24 Russian tactical bomber su-24 was shot down by Turkish fighter F-16. Aircraft of the Russian space forces were at the height of 6 thousand meters in one kilometer from the border with Turkey.
