Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavusoglu says Turkey and Russia agreed on deeper relations with establishing a joint military, intelligence and diplomacy mechanism and cooperate on Syrian crisis to stop bloodshed.

Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavusoglu said on Wednesday that the Gülenist Terror Group (FETÖ) aims to disrupt Turkey's foreign relations. Speaking to the Anadolu Agency Editors' Desk, he said: "FETÖ is clearly trying to damage our relations with not only Russia, but with any foreign country possible." He also said that FETÖ was behind the downed jet crisis with Russia. Çavusoglu said that the Turkish pilots involved in the downing of the Russian warplane over the Syrian border on Nov. 24 of last year had both been arrested on suspicion of being involved in the recent coup attempt. "This is because of the allegation of being a member of FETÖ, not because they were involved in the incident," Çavusoglu said, underlining that the judiciary will evaluate the jet-downing incident case in every aspect.
