(Interfax – Moscow, October 7, 2015)

The Kremlin considers the violation of Turkish airspace by Russian aircraft an embarrassing complication and confirms readiness to hold consultations between the military.

“I would like to recall yesterday’s statement of the Russian Defence Ministry where the readiness to immediately begin consultations with the military, including the Turkish military, was voiced to clear up these embarrassing mistakes and organize coordination for the period of implementation of tasks by the Russian Air Force over Syrian territory in the future,” Russian presidential spokesman Dmitriy Peskov told journalists today.
