It’s necessary to avoid escalation of relations between Russia and Turkey after the crash of the Russian Su-24 jet in Syria, High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini stated Tuesday.

“[I] Talked with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg this morning. [There is a] need to avoid escalation [between] Turkey [and] Russia,” she said, TASS reports.  

The Russian Su-24 jet, taking part in an air operation against terrorists in Syria, was downed by air-to-air missiles fired by Turkish F-16s near the Turkish border. According to the Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Russian fighter didn’t threaten Turkey and was downed 1km away from its border.
