Turkey will not apologise for downing a Russian fighter jet along the
Syrian border but urged Moscow to reconsider retaliatory sanctions in
the hope of calming the crisis, Turkish Premier Ahmet Davutoglu said on
Monday.
"Protection of our airspace, our border is not only a
right but a duty for my government and no Turkish premier or president
... will apologise [for] doing our duty," Davutoglu told a joint press
conference with Nato head Jens Stoltenberg after talks in Brussels.
Davutoglu
added that "we hope Russia will reconsider these measures in both our
interests", referring to the sanctions that Moscow imposed after the
shooting down of the jet earlier this month.
