Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said that will continue to respond the same way it did when it downed the Russian Su-24 Fencer bomber if its airspace is violated. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan stated that in case of another violation of the country's airspace, Ankara is ready to respond in the same manner as with Russia's Su-24. "If today there will be another violation of our airspace, we are capable of the same kind of response," Tayyip Erdogan said. The downing of Russia's Su-24 bomber was an "automatic reaction" in line with a standing order given to the Turkish military, according to Erdogan. Erdogan called Kremlin's reaction to the incident is "emotional" and "unfitting of politicians" following Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's proposal to cancell joint projects. The Turkish leader stated that he will continue to support moderate rebels and Turkmens who are engaged in a fight against Syria's government. The president also added that Turkey does not buy oil from the Islamic State and statements that Ankara is supporting terrorists need to be proven. "It's said that Turkey is buying oil from the Islamic State. Everyone knows where we buy our energy resources. Most from Russia, then from Iran, Azerbaijan, and northern Iraq. Let's have proof that we're buying from the IS. Let those who accuse us of buying oil from the IS prove it. If you're looking for the financial sources of the IS, the first place you need to look is at the [Syrian President Bashar] Assad regime and those who support him," Erdogan said in Ankara.
