Merkel asks Davutoglu to avoid an escalation with Moscow

German Chancellor Angela Merkel noted that it is necessary to do everything possible to avoid an escalation between Moscow and Ankara

"Of course, the crash of a Russian airplane downed by Turkey makes the situation more intense. We must now do everything so as to avoid an escalation," she said.

"Of course, every country has the right to defend its territory, but on the other hand, we know how tense the situation is in Syria and in the surrounding area. Yesterday I spoke with the Turkish Prime Minister and asked him to do everything to de-escalate the situation," she added.
