President Abdullah Gul says his country will take all "necessary" action against Syria.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul has said it is not possible to ignore the fact that Syria shot down one of its military jets.
"It is not possible to cover over a thing like this, whatever is necessary will be done," Gul was quoted as saying by state news agency Anatolia on Saturday. It was not immediately clear where he was speaking from.
Gul said it was routine for jets travelling at high speed to cross borders for a short distance. He said an investigation into the incident would look at whether the plane was downed in Turkish airspace.
