Despite fraught relations between the two countries after a Russian pilot was killed last week, the Turkey's PM demanded communication channels be opened up to stop similar incidents from occurring.
Ahmet Davuto?lu told a news conference: "Our call to Russia again is to open military communication channels to prevent similar incidents happening. Let's keep diplomatic channels open."
His call for dialogue comes after the Kremlin closed an emergency phone line with Ankara in anger at the attack, which Russia claims happened over Syrian airspace.

Putin is laughing ...
Turkey is all big and bad now, thinking Obama has ‘got their back’. Don’t be too sure of that. Obama is using Turkey as a Pawn, the way China has used North Korea.
Like two bull dogs growling at one another through the fence. If the gate is ever opened...look out!
I doubt the rooskies are stupid enough to agree to this.
If I were Putin I’d tell that goathumper Erdogan to... well, to go hump a goat.
Sounds like a threat to me. What you going to do about that Puty Pute.

Roast Turkey for Christmas!
Russia needs to develop weapons that spread pork mist over large areas
Could be an SU-400 demo in the near future.
SU-400? Is that a Russian turretless armored fighting vehicle with a fifteen-inch naval gun on it? :-)
Well now, looky here. Erdogan just lifted his skirt a bit.
Seems like the back channels have been VERY busy the past few days. First is Erdogan’s gauntlet thrown of “prove I sell ISIS oil and I will resign...neener..neener..neener, you can’t”. Then the reports or S3/400’s getting moved into the area and now we have “Why can’t we be friends?”.
Seems to me Erdogan has obama bus tracks across his chest and he damn well knows there won’t be “another” shoot down besides Russia arming some birds with air to air missiles because Turkey lacks the ability to without quickly losing birds of their own (and possibly over the wrong “line on a map”.
Turkey either back’s down in such a way that leaves it with “some face” or Russia wipes the map of all things Erdogan because it is becoming increasingly obvious NATO (read that sane members, not obama and his hand picked military replaced LGBT/American shooter brass) do NOT have Turkey’s back.
When is Putin going to scorch Yippy’s ass?
Go ahead. Make Putin’s day.

Nah, bambi ain’t that sharp of a leader. HE Can ride roughshod over Congress, but not over the country named after a Thanksgiving bird.

Somehow, someway, prophetically speaking Turkey & Russia will kiss and make up at some point.
I can think of many reasons that would cause this.
