After an alleged
Russian Su-34 fighter incursion into the Turkish
airspace, the country’s military command has
declared an 'orange alert' meaning that Turkish
military pilots can open fire on airspace’ violators
on their own discretion.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry claimed that Russian
Su-34 bomber, despite a multiple warnings in Turkish
and Russian languages, strayed into the country’s
airspace for 5 seconds on January 30.
“29 January 2016 at 11.46 hours local time, a
SU-34 type Russian aircraft violated Turkish
airspace. Before the violation actually took
place, Russian plane was warned numerous times
by Turkish air radar units both in English and
Russian languages,” stated in a press release.
"There were no violations of Turkish airspace by
aircraft of the Russian air group in the Syrian Arab
Republic. Turkish authorities' statements of an
alleged violation of Turkish airspace by a Russian
Su-34 jet are naked propaganda," Maj. Gen. Igor
Konashenkov said.
Meantime, the USA has urged both sides to calm.
“We are aware of reports and can confirm that
yesterday another Russian combat aircraft violated
Turkish — and NATO – airspace,” Pentagon spokesman
Mark Wright told RIA Novosti in a written statement
Saturday. “We call on Russia to respect Turkish
airspace and cease activities that risk further
heightening instability in the region,” Wright’s
statement goes on.
On November 24, after a Russian Su-24 bomber
allegedly violated Turkish airspace for 17 seconds,
Ankara’s Air Force shut down the jet with two pilots
on board. The action has led to the deterioration of
countries relations and a number of sanctions,
imposed by Russia on Turkey.
