Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown

Turkey has expressed its satisfaction with NATO's clear support to Ankara after another Russian warplane violated Turkish airspace on Jan. 29.

The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) has said it expected Turkey would implement its declared rules of engagement in the event of an airspace violation, in response to a Russian warplane which reportedly entered Turkish airspace on Jan. 29, rekindling tension between Ankara and Moscow.   

Turkish Foreign Ministry claimed on Saturday that a Russian Su-34 fighter bomber had violated Turkish airspace on Friday.

According to Turkey, the Russian aircraft was repeatedly warned in Russian and English.

The Russian ambassador to Ankara was summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry and a protest was lodged to him in connection with the incident.

The U.S. called on Russia to respect Turkey's airspace late on Jan. 30, following Turkish claims that a Russian warplane had crossed its southern border.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has said that a Russian fighter jet violated Turkish airspace on Jan. 29, months after a downing that caused a big row between Ankara and Moscow. 

An official statement released on Jan. 30 said the Russian jet -a SU-34 fighter-bomber- was repeatedly warned by Turkish air radar units in Russian and English.

Alparslan Çelik, the alleged killer of Oleg Peshkov, the pilot of the Russian jet downed by Turkey on Nov. 24, 2015 according to Moscow, has said he has "no fear" of the Russians, speaking to Do?an News Agency a day after he was seen attending a funeral in Istanbul.

A Turkish man wanted by Russia for allegedly killing one of the two pilots of the Russian jet downed by Turkey near the Turkish-Syrian border in late 2015 has appeared at a funeral ceremony in Istanbul, saying he would go back to Syria.

Russian soldiers are searching for the alleged killer of a Russian pilot who was shot after the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey near the Syrian border on Nov. 24, according to reports by Russian media.

As had been previously announced, Russia suspended its visa-free regime with Turkey on Friday.

This is one of the retaliatory measures taken by Russia in response to the downing of the Russian Su-24 bomber by Turkey near the Turkish-Syrian border on November 24 last year.

Russia has also imposed bans on the import of certain Turkish fruits and vegetables.

Turkey's top science body has launched a comprehensive project to strengthen the country's cyber security after a week-long cyberattack that targeted hundreds of thousands of Turkish websites.
