Putin, Turkmen president discuss security in airspace over Caspian

Russian President Vladimir Putin met on Monday with his Turkmen counterpart Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov to discuss issues of security of airspace over the Caspian Sea.

"As for the concerns of our friends in the region about the use of airspace over the Caspian Sea, the Kazakh friends have said nothing so far but we will bear it in mind. We understand that it might pose some discomfort but we know that all the efforts Russia is taking to counter terrorism are a burden first of all for Russia… Terrorist organization, such as the Islamic State and others, they spare no one, including civil aircraft," Putin said.

"So, if there is some discomfort, it should be minimized… But have a tragic experience linked with our plane, we will do it as long as we think it appropriate to punish those responsible," Putin stressed.

  • "These operations are not forever. I have been saying it from the very beginning that they will have a temporary nature. It is linked with the offensive operation of the Syrian national army against terrorist organizations," the Russian leader said.

He stressed that the Syrian crisis had been addressed and would be addressed by political means and added that this issue had been discussed with the Iranian leaders.
