Iraqi Vice President Nuri al-Maliki on Thursday accused ErdoÄŸan of pushing the world to the brink of a global conflict after it downed the Russian warplane, according to a report by French news agency the AFP. "ErdoÄŸan claims the Russian aircraft entered Turkey's airspace for a few seconds, forgetting that its own planes violate Iraqi and Syrian airspace every day," he said in a statement. Turkish fighter jets have, in recent months, carried out a series of deadly strikes against rebels of the Kurdistan
Workers' Party (PKK) in their bases in the north of Iraq. "ErdoÄŸan's double standards and aggressive policies are threatening a new world war," said the vice president.
Putin on Thursday dismissed as "rubbish" Turkey's claim that it did not know the jets were Russian. "They [our planes] have insignias and these are well visible," Putin said. "Instead of [...] ensuring this never happens again, we are hearing unintelligible explanations and statements that there is nothing to apologize about."
