U.S President Barack Obama stated that Turkey has the right to defend its territory, at the same time urging Russia and Turkey to avoid escalation.

During the joint press-conference with the French President Francois Hollande, he said that it’s very important to make sure that both Russia and Turkey are talking to each other.

According to Obama, the incident indicates the problems of the Russian operation in that it’s going on too close to the Turkish border.

The Russian Su-24 jet, taking part in an air operation against terrorists in Syria, was downed by the Turkish Air Forces near the Turkish border. The Turkish side stated that the Russian jet violated the Turkish airspace, but according to the Russian Defense Minister, there was no crossing of border.
