Russian
Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov after talks with his Turkish
counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Moscow isn't planning any war
on Turkey
Lavrov
expressed the hope that “such encroachments implying intrusion
into Syrian territory, the territory of a sovereign state, will not
go on.”
“Yesterday’s
attack against our plane and the whole situation is not to be used
for pushing through the idea of a no-fly, buffer zone by hook or by
crook.”
He pointed
out that Turkish planes violate Greece's airspace some 1,500 times a
year.
The official
stressed that the recommendations to Russian citizens not to visit
Turkey is not revenge, and it's based on the assessment of the
terrorist threat.
“As for
the recommendations to our citizens not to visit Turkey, this is not
revenge, this was not the off-the-cuff decision,” he said. “We
assessed the presence of the terrorist threat in Turkey without
bias.”
