Turkish president on the wires with strong words for Russia

He's been speaking for a few minutes but the comments are getting stronger

  • Does not want to harm relations with Russia
  • Warns that Russia must not play with fire
  • Dismisses the allegations that Turkey buys IS oil as slander
  • Says US has documented evidence that Russian companies and IS are selling oil to Syria
  • Says Putin's comments after meeting Hollande were unacceptable
  • Turkey did not intentionally down Russian jet
  • Will try to talk to Putin at climate summit in Paris (oh to be a fly on that wall)

How he's trying to suggest that they unintentionally shot down the jet is beyond me. According to Turkey they warned it 10 times then pulled the trigger. That's hardly unintentional
