ANKARA
ANKARA Turkey summoned the Russian ambassador on Monday soon after accusing Russia of a “provocation” after a serviceman on the deck of a Russian naval ship allegedly brandished a rocket launcher although the vessel passed by way of Istanbul at the weekend.
Relations have deteriorated sharply given that Turkey final month became the very first NATO member in much more than half a century to down a Russian plane, which it mentioned had violated its airspace whilst flying sorties more than Syria. The pilot was killed.
