Bulent Arinc told a televised news conference Monday that Syrian forces opened fire on a CASA search and rescue plane following the downing of a RF-4E reconnaissance jet in international airspace on Friday. Arinc did not say whether the search and rescue plane was hit.
He says the Syrian side ceased fire after a warning from the Turkish military
Seems like somebody will be getting bombed by NATO soon
Let ’em send in a flotilla to look for the wreckage
everybody is picking on Turkey its not fair
I guess Turkey now sees that there is a much bigger ‘bogeyman’ out there when it comes to slaughtering innocent Arab civilians than the Israelis. Turkey will in the future look mighty foolish if it attempts to aid any more Gaza flotillas.
Wish them both good luck.
