The local news channel TRT Haber quoted Erdogan as saying Nov. 26 that Russia itself should ask forgiveness from Turkey.
Erdogan’s comments come in the wake of downing of a Russian Su-24 warplane by Turkish Air Force Nov. 24.
Previously, Erdogan also said that Moscow’s aggressive statements against Turkey, after the Su-24 incident, saddened Ankara.
He said Ankara and Moscow are strategic partners, but this doesn’t mean that Russia can disrespect the principles of inviolability of Turkey’s borders.
