Accomplices of terrorists: I Gave Order to Shoot Down Russia’s Su-24 bomber says, Turkish Prime Minister

As more details keep on developing about the bringing down of a Russian plane along the Turkey-Syria border on Tuesday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has admitted to specifically giving the order to shoot down the airplane, Canadian news outlet ThinkPol reported.

Hours after the scene which annihilated a Russian Su-24 bomber and left one pilot dead, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan went on the defensive, blaming an alleged incursion of Turkish airspace.

A lot of the Turkish cases have as of now been raised doubt about, raising doubts that the scene was a mere in-the-moment misunderstanding. Adding to that uncertainty are comments made by Davutoglu on Wednesday, in which he took direct responsibility for the accident.



This was also echoed by US President Barack Obama, who told reporters “It’s very important for us right now to make sure both the Russians and the Turks are talking to each other to find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation.”

While one of the pilots was killed by ground fire after ejecting from the aircraft, the other, Captain Konstantin Murahtin, was rescued. Murahtin also denied that his plane ever entered Turkish airspace, and also refuted claims that Turkey had given multiple warnings.
Russian President Vladimir Putin described the incident as a “stab in the back by accomplices of terrorists.”
