Russia's president has accused turkey of stubbing them in the back,that is after Turkey down their fighter jet. Its unclear to know who is telling the truth,since Russia claim that there plane was in the Syrian airspace,but Turkey claim that the down plane was in their airspace and they were protecting there sovereignty by downing that plane. According to an interview carried out by The WorldPost, a Turkish official said that “In line with the military rules of engagement, the Turkish authorities repeatedly warned an unidentified aircraft that they were 15 km or less away from the border.
In line with this the Russian president has said that this bring serious consequences to Russia-Turkey relations. But skeptics say that this fight is likely to be fought only in Syria, because the two countries have been close in sharing natural resource. Also because the two have always differed on the Syrian policy,with Russia backing Syria's dictator Bashar Assad and Turkey demands his ouster.
Putin also claimed that Ankara funds terrorism through illicit oil sales. But this is not the first time that Ankara has been accused of supporting extremist in Syria a country in which its shared border has been deemed a "jihadi highway" for ISIS recruits. Turkey vehemently denies any connections to the hard line militant group.
