Turkey backstabbed Russia by downing the Russian warplane and acted as accomplices of the terrorists, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
The plane was hit by a Turkish warplane as it was traveling 1 km away from the Turkish border, Putin said. The plane posed no threat to Turkish national security, he stressed.
Putin said the plane was targeting terrorist targets in the Latakia province of Syria, many of whom came from Russia.
Russia noticed of the flow of oil from Syrian territory under the control of terrorists to Turkey, Putin said.
Apparently, IS now not only receives revenue from the smuggling of oil, but also has the protection of a nation's military, Putin said. This may explain why the terrorist group is so bold in taking acts of terrorism across the world, the added.
The incident will have grave consequences for Russia's relations with Turkey, Putin warned.
The fact that Turkey did not try to contact Russia in the wake of the incident and rushed to call a NATO meeting instead is worrisome, Putin said. It appears that Turkey want NATO to serve the interests of IS, he added.

We will all join together and send you a “Deepest Condolences” card as Vlad picks up the pace and kills more of these savages.
Russian arms to their BFF the Kurdish peshmerga for one. Cut's off Turkey's exports is another and stops the flow of gas. That is the best scenario - the other being is a nuclear exchange at the worst case scenarios.
No European will fight for Turkey - NATO charter not withstanding. Europeans hate Turks on an ethnic level. And I doubt most Americans would fight for Turkey either.
So Americans no longer honor their treaties? Wonderful!
Turkey was under attack or did she shoot first? It's a gray area. I don't want my kid and fellow countrymen dying for Muslims over a gray area. Especially since Turkey maybe linked to jihadis who target countries in the very same alliance.
Nancy Pelosi instigated that when out of nowhere (during the run up to the invasion) she put Armenian resolution on the floor denouncing Turkey. Turkey was on board until Pelosi purposely pissed them off to muddy up the waters for President Bush.
The muslim led/controlled Turkey is no longer the firm/good US ally that it used to be.
I say NATO cuts Turkey lose.
“Putin said. It appears that Turkey want NATO to serve the interests of IS, he added.”
.
Isis oil apparently flowed through Turkey. ISIS probably paid Turkey large sums of money for the oil transport.
Don’t know how accurate this report is?

Remember back in March 2014 the Turkish Foreign Minister, Intelligence Chief and Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs were recorded in a meeting planning a false flag to attack their own troops from Syrian territory. In so doing they would then have a pretext to invade Syria and attempt to overthrow Assad.
This was posted on Youtube and Twitter which Erdorgan promptly blocked claiming the posting of said meeting was villainous and dishonest.
Erdorgan is absolutely a terrorist supporter and a total loose cannon.
The whole world knows Turkey is in bed with ISIS. It is a dirty well known secret.
Note to Putin: Seize all the land on either side of the Bospurus including Instanbul and rename it Constantinope to give Russia control over the entry to the Black Sea and ban Islam within that territory and send in Russian Orthodox missionaries and require all school children to be taught Orthodoxy.
Turkey hides behind NATO when it wants, then protects their pals ISIS, while killing Kurds and the west are too cowardly to kick the two faced back stabbers out.
HA HA have you ever served, all countries violate airspace.
agree, kick Turkey out of NATO as they have never been a friend to NATO and only hides behind NATO to protect their ISIS pals now
Turkey has not been a friend since Constantine.
Putin should remodel Erdogan’s house in the mode of Saddam’s palace after the bombs flattened it. Hopefully with Erdogan in it.
Yes, I’ve served. I served with the US. What country did you serve with?
