Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Friday said Ankara’s patience with Moscow after the downing of a Russian warplane on the Syrian border was “not unlimited”, asking Moscow to react calmly.
“We are calling on Russia, our major trade partner, for calm. But we also say that our patience is not unlimited,” Cavusoglu said. “If we are not retaliating to what you (Russia) have so far done, it is not because we are scared or have any feeling of guilt,” he added.
