Russia Condemns Turkish Downing of Warplane

HeadlineNov 25, 2015

Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned Turkey’s downing of a Russian warplane near the Syrian border, saying it was “like a stab in the back delivered by the accomplices of terrorists.” Turkey said it shot down the plane after warning the Russian pilots they were in Turkish airspace. But Russia says the plane did not stray from Syrian airspace. The incident marks one of the most serious publicly acknowledged clashes between a NATO member country and Russia in half a century.
