Turkey's President Erdogan defends downing of Russian warplane - BBC News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has bitterly condemned the downing of a Russian jet on the Turkey-Syria border. He described it as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists". But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the action was ''fully in line with Turkey's rules of engagement''.

Do not forget, not forgive. Even if Turkey wants normalization of diplomatic relations with Russia, we Russians do not want. Only retribution! Erdogan say "goodbye" to cheap oil from ISIS.

Looks like the Russians got a Turkey for the season, I guess, a gift will be returned in kind.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Makes you wonder who Turkey is friends with.

Turkey can stay in Turkey, i think Europe and Russia should become better friends. Imagine all the things we could do if they perfectly worked together with the same equal respect for eachother's nation, dont make Europe needlessly bigger, and treat the Russians as equal partners like we allways did with the US. The world would be such a better place.
