Putin steps up verbal attacks on Turkey
“Particularly after the downing of the Russian plane, the Turkish-Syrian border is not going to be as porous as it used to be in the past”, Cevikov claimed.

“We presented evidence how the illegal oil trade is carried out to finance the terrorist groups”.
The Russian leader began his speech by asking for a moment’s silence in honour of Russian servicemen killed in Syria, where his military is conducting airstrikes in support of President Bashar al-Assad against ISIS and other rebels in their four-year-old civil war.
Turkey said the plane violated its airspace for 17 seconds despite repeated warnings; Russian Federation denies that.
“Those who believe that economic sanctions against an honorable nation like Turkey can bring it to its knees will be mistaken”, Davutoglu said.
Moscow deployed long-range air defense missile systems to its base in Syria 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the border with Turkey and slammed an array of economic sanctions on Turkey, including a ban on imports of fruit and vegetables and the sales of tour packages.
“But”, Putin added, “if they expected a nervous or hysterical reaction from us, if they wanted to see us become a danger to ourselves as much as to the world, they won’t get it. They won’t get any response meant for show or even for immediate political gain”.
Turkey neither intends to escalate the situation regarding the downing of the Russian warplane, nor would apologize to Russia for the incident, Davutoglu said at Azerbaijan’s ADA University here, pointing out that Russia’s accusations of Turkey stabbing Moscow in the back are groundless.
Russian Federation accuses Turkey with satellite images showing columns of tanker trucks being loaded with oil at territories controlled by ISIS in Syria and Iraq then traversing into the border of Turkey according to a report by NBC News.

Speaking about the bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey, Davutoglu said they are developing day by day. “Sanctions are detrimental to both sides”. One of the two Russian pilots aboard was killed by militants when parachuting from the burning jet, while the other was saved by Russian and Syrian forces. “When they asked us why we shipped, we replied that Russian Federation was our strategic partner”, Erdogan said.
