  1. Turkey says a Russian jet has violated its airspace and it has summoned the Russian ambassador to Ankara...

    The foreign ministry said a Russian SU-34 jet violated Turkish airspace on Friday despite warnings in Russian and English.

    Tensions have been high between Ankara and Moscow since Turkey shot down a Russian plane which violated its airspace near Syria in November.

    The two have traded barbs and introduced retaliatory measures.

    "A Su-34 plane belonging to the Russian Federation air force violated Turkish airspace at 11:46 local time yesterday (Friday)," the foreign ministry said.

    Its statement went on to say that the Russian ambassador had been summoned to the foreign ministry to "strongly protest and condemn" the violation.......http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35449152

  2. Erneut russischer Jet in türkischem Luftraum...

    Ankara meldet eine Verletzung des Luftraums durch einen russischen Kampfjet. Das türkische Ministerium bestellte den russischen Botschafter ein.

    Ein russisches Flugzeug hat nach türkischen Angaben erneut den Luftraum der Türkei verletzt. Das Aussenministerium teilte am Samstag mit, die Maschine sei auf Russisch und Englisch gewarnt worden, ehe sie am Freitag in den Luftraum eingedrungen sei. Wegen des Vorfalls bestellte das Ministerium den russischen Botschafter ein.

    In einer Stellungnahme warf das Aussenministerium Russland eine Eskalation der Spannungen vor. Moskau werde für jegliche «schlimmen» Folgen verantwortlich gemacht, hiess es.

    Die Türkei hatte im November ein russisches Kampfflugzeug abgeschossen, das türkischen Angaben zufolge ihren Luftraum verletzt hatte. Der Abschuss hatte eine Krise zwischen beiden Ländern ausgelöst.

  3. Violation de l'espace aérien turc: la Russie qualifie les accusations de "propagande"...

    L'Otan et la Turquie, membre de cette alliance, ont fermement condamné samedi une nouvelle violation la veille de l'espace aérien turc par l'aviation russe, le président Recep Tayyip Erdogan mettant en garde la Russie contre les "conséquences" de ces "actes irresponsables". Cette mise en garde intervient deux mois après qu'un bombardier russe a été abattu fin novembre par l'aviation turque au-dessus de la frontière syrienne, provoquant une grave crise diplomatique entre Moscou et Ankara.

    Le président turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan a averti la Russie samedi qu'elle devrait faire face aux "conséquences " de ses "actes irresponsables" comme la nouvelle violation de son espace aérien la veille. "La Russie devra assumer les conséquences si elle continue de telles violations contre les droits souverains de la Turquie", a dit le président à la presse, à l'aéroport d'Istanbul. "De tels actes irresponsables ne profitent ni à la Fédération de Russie, ni aux relations entre l'Otan et la Russie, ni à la paix régionale ou globale"......rtbf.be
