Ahmet Davutoglu: Russian plane was shot down by my order

According to the former Prime Minister of Turkey, Ahmet Davutoglu, he gave instructions to armed forces, according to which they were obliged to shoot down any aircraft violated the airspace of the country.

In carrying out this particular order, the Turkish Air Force shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber, this was stated by Davutoglu to Hurriyet Daily News.

Background on this from Katehon:

Under Davutoglu, Turkey have become a regional troublemaker and a ringleader of conflict, and those conflicts have had a negative impact on Turkey. Through Davutoglu, Turkey became involved in the conflict in Syria, one of the consequences of which was the revival of the Kurdish factor, which now threatens the very integrity of the Republic of Turkey. Radical Islamism entrenched in Syria and Iraq is also a threat to national security. The destruction of the Russian aircraft, which Davutoglu also took responsibility for, led to a protracted conflict with Russia at a time when both countries had agreed on joint action in Syria. As a result, the previous agreements, which were favorable for Turkey, were crossed out. Turkish business began to suffer serious damage. In the wider geopolitical arena, Ankara has lost a unique opportunity to maneuver between Washington, Moscow, Riyadh, and Brussels. Thus, it has become more dependent on the US and its foreign policy strategies.
