Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 9
Trend:
Russia has no hostile intentions towards Turkey, Alexander Grushko, Russia's permanent representative to NATO, said, RIA Novosti reported.
"This is beyond real politics and any possible scenario," Grushko said.
He said that the air incident with Turkey was used as an excuse to use the anti-Russian rhetoric in the Middle East.
NATO states that Russia's Su-30 and Su-24 aircraft violated the airspace of Turkey Oct. 3-4, despite a warning from the Turkish authorities.
The Russian defense ministry said Oct. 5 that Russian Su-30 aircraft was flying in the Turkish airspace for a few seconds Oct. 3.
