Russia seeks alleged killer of Turkey-downed jet pilot after Rabia recapture

Nerdun Hacıoğlu – MOSCOW

Russian soldiers are searching for the alleged killer of a Russian pilot who was shot after the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey near the Syrian border on Nov. 24, according to reports by Russian media.

Alparslan Çelik, a Turkish citizen who claimed to have shot Russian pilot Oleg Peshkov, and his group were in the rebel-held Rabia town in the western coastal province of Latakia, which was recently recaptured by Syrian pro-government forces, where soldiers were looking to “take revenge,” Russian DNI and Lifenews have reported.

The U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has also reported that Russian officers entered Rabia.

Backed by Russian airstrikes, Syrian pro-government forces recaptured the town on Jan. 24.

After the downing of the jet, Alparslan Çelik defended the killing of Peshkov in a video, saying that the pilot had dropped bombs on the Turkmens.

It was foolish for this walking dead Turk to go on camera and admit he shot the pilot as he was coming down in his parachute. In just a month Putin had his forces retake the area the Turkomen were operating from and he is now a hunted man.

May Alparslan Atelik linger awhile, and then be sent off with many of his fellow Turkmen.

If it was such a good thing to murder the pilot, why only one shooter?
Why didn’t the unit assemble for a Turkey shoot.
