Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: Turkish statements - "unfounded propaganda"

The Russian side denied Ankara's statement about the violation of the Turkish airspace. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov, called the statements of Turkey "unfounded propaganda."

“There were no violations of the Turkish aircraft by the Russian aircraft groups in the Syrian Arab Republic. The Turkish side of the supposedly fact of violation by the Russian aircraft of airspace is unfounded propaganda,” Konashenkov quotes Interfax quoted.

He added that radar radars, with the help of which airspace controls, “can only fix the height, course and speed of the object in the air” and not one of these devices ”is capable of establishing the type and state affiliation of an air object - Russia or the USA led by the so -called“ anti -Ingilov coalition ”.

According to Konashenkov, this is known "even Turkish air defense specialists." “It’s serious that someone else warned someone in“ Russian and English languages ​​”with the help of these radars, only illiterate propagandists who have seen the Hollywood militants,” the representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense added.

State Duma deputy called the Turkish authorities "terrorists in uniform"

Erdogan, apparently, “can not achieve a meeting with Putin, so he tries to use all sorts of opportunities,” such an opinion in an interview with RIA Novosti was expressed by the first deputy chairman of the International State Duma Committee Leonid Kalashnikov.

"To warn to chat, this is at least naive after the murder of our citizens, who then also finished off on Earth," the parliamentarian said. According to him, now no one will believe in the goodwill of Ankara's statements.

In the commentary of the Russian News Service, Kalashnikov called representatives of the Turkish authorities "terrorists in uniform" and stated that they themselves constantly violate the airspace of other countries, in particular, Greece.

"These are just terrorists, in fact, clothed with state epaulets, that's all. If they do it themselves (invaded someone else's airspace. - Note Newsru.com) Almost every day or a week on the Greek border, what do they want to say that they need to knock down Turkish planes?" - added State Duma deputy.

Russian VKS has been bombing the positions of extremists in Syria since the end of September. As part of the group, which takes out the sorties from the Khmeimim base in the province of Latakia - six Su -34.

The Turkish Air Force fighter F-16 shot down the Su-24M bomber on November 24 on the basis that the Russian aircraft, according to Ankara, supposedly violated the country's airspace in the area of ​​the border with Syria.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims that the aircraft participated in an operation against the Islamic State terrorist group prohibited in the Russian Federation (IG, also Daesh , is prohibited in Russia) and flew strictly in the airspace of Syria.

The crew of the downed bomber was ejected, but the commander Oleg Peshkov was killed by the rebels from the ground. The navigator Konstantin Murakhin was saved by the Russian military. During the operation to evacuate the pilots, the Mi-8 helicopter was blown up by militants, as a result of which the monastery of the contract Alexander Pozinich was killed.

After this incident, relations between the Russian Federation and Turkey sharply worsened. Russian President Vladimir Putin called this incident "blow to the back" by the accomplices of terrorists. After the incident, Russia suspended cooperation and contacts with Ankara in various fields. The sanctions were formalized at the end of November: companies were forbidden to hire workers from Turkish citizens, and the agreement with Turkey on visa -free regime was also suspended, a ban on the import of certain types of goods from Turkey was introduced in the Russian Federation, and tour operators were “not recommended to” sell vouchers to Turkey.
