Turkey PM warns will activate rules of engagement if air space violated 05 Oct 2015 19:41 channelnewsasia.com Turkey used an F-16 to down a Syrian MIG-23 on March 23 last year for the same reason. Turkey shot down a Russian drone in in October for the same reason. Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had warned on October 5 after the Russian air space violation that Ankara would activate military rules of engagement irrespective of who violates its air space."The Turkish armed forces are clearly instructed. Even it is a flying bird it will be intercepted," Davutoglu said. Turkey supports the moderate opposition in Syria and has been infuriated by Moscow's bombing campaign to support President Bashar Assad. [Turkish Foreign Minister Feridun] Sinirlioglu said that the Russian air strikes had not been aimed at striking at Islamic State (IS) jihadists and were simply seeking to prop up the regime. "This is not a method that will ensure Syria's unity. Nothing will emerge other than protracting existing chaos and war and more human losses," he said. Sinirlioglu said the Russian strikes near the Turkish border could lead to dangerous situations. "This is a serious issue that could lead to accidents."
