Ankara and Moscow don’t have any conflict of interests over Syria, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said, commenting on the recent air incident with the Russian military aircraft. At the same time, he noted that "Russia must take into consideration our concern" over the situation.
"We are friends and neighbors with Russia, but Turkey cannot ignore security issues of our borders," RIA Novosti cited the head of government as saying.
Davutoglu stressed that the Syrian crisis should not become a Russian-Turkish crisis.
"The attacks on the moderate Syrian opposition will strengthen IS," the Turkish prime minister noted.
