Putin says still no ‘apologies’ from Turkey over downed warplane
President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had not received any apology from Turkish leaders over the downing of a warplane, nor any proposals to compensate Moscow.
“We still have not heard any articulate apologies from Turkey’s highest political level nor any proposals to compensate for the harm and damage, nor promises to punish criminals responsible for their crimes,” Putin said at the Kremlin in televised remarks.
“We believe treacherous stabs in the back from those who we considered partners and allies in the anti-terror fight to be absolutely inexplicable,” Putin said.
Putin, who spoke ahead of talks with French President Francois Hollande, reiterated his call for the creation of a broad coalition to fight the Islamic State group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq.
“We will continue our attempts to reach agreement with all the partners,” he said.

YES, MR PUTIN, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IN YOUR ASSESSMENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY AND YOUR FUTURE STRATEGY IN SYRIA.
PRESIDENT OF TURKEY IS NOT ONLY A DICTATOR BUT ALSO AN ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST AIDING AND ABETTING TERRORISTS IN SYRIA, ESPECIALLY THE ISIL. HE IS CLEARLY A DECEITFUL MAN THROWING DUST INTO THE EYES OF THE WESTERN ALLIES AGAINST ISIL BY PRETENDING TO FIGHT ISIL BUT AT THE SAME TIME, PROTECTING ISIL, SUPPLYING THEM WITH WEAPONS WHILE REFINING MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF OIL BEING SUPPLIED TO TURKEY BY THE SAME ISIL. I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS DICTATOR AND BACK-STABBER CHEAT IS TO TEACH HIM A LESSON BY DOWNING HIS USA BORROWED F16, NEXT TIME YOU SEE THEM NEAR THE SYRIAN BORDER AND THEN LET US SEE HOW MUCH WOLF DOES HE CRY IN FRONT OF HIS NATO FRIENDS, WHO ARE VERY LIKELY TO IGNORE THIS DECEITFUL FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIC DICTATOR.
I BELIEVE, THIS MAN IS BEHAVING LIKE A LITTLE MONKEY IN THE HANDS OF NATO- THE NATO WILL SIMPLY USE HIM, ABUSE HIM AND DUMP HIM WHEN IT BECOMES CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO DO SO.
MR PUTIN, YOU MUST TRY TO ISOLATE THIS ISLAMIC TERRORISTS SUPPORTER AND DICTATOR FROM THE WESTERN ALLIANCE AGAINST ISIL AND THEN BOMB HIM AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO TEACH HIM A LESSON OF HIS LIFE. I DO NOT THINK, THE WEST WILL MISS HIM AND WAGE WORLD WAR 3 BECAUSE OF HIM WHO IS NOTHING BUT REMANENCE OF ISLAMIC TERROR.
MR PUTIN, DO YOU STILL REMEMBER, ONCE UPON A TIME, THIS DICTATOR GOT A BLOODY NOSE IN ISRAEL SEA WATERS IN CONFRONTATION WITH ISRAELIS FORCES IN THAT BIG SHOWDOWN ?? HE, ONCE AGAIN, NEEDS THAT KIND OF FOOD TO PUT HIM BACK ON THE TRACK.
We will review and take appropriate action.
