Tensions Continue To Increase Between Turkey And Russia Over Syria



VOA: Tension Increases Between Turkey-Russia Over Syria

Tensions continue to rise between Turkey and Russia as both sides increase their military power at the Turkish-Syrian border.

Accusations between the two countries grew after Turkey shot down a Russian military jet last week.

Turkey said Russia invaded Turkish airspace illegally after being warned to fly out.

Since then, the two world leaders have thrown complaints and charges at each other. Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Turkey of aiding Islamic State oil smuggling. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan challenged Putin to prove it.

I think Russia should launch a ground war north laktia against Turkmen and seal Turkish border with Kurds and Syrian troops
