US failed to prevent Turkey from downing Russian jet despite air safety deal – Moscow
RT | December 14, 2015
As the leader of the international coalition against Islamic State, the US failed to ensure the implementation by its Turkish allies of the Syria air safety agreement, which was signed between Moscow and Washington, the Russian Foreign Ministry says.
“Despite the fact, that the defense ministries of the two countries (the US and Russia) signed a memorandum on ensuring the safety of military aviation flights in Syrian airspace, Washington – which took the responsibility for the actions of the entire coalition it leads – hasn’t ensured compliance with the relevant provisions of the document by its ally Turkey,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday.
Russia and the US signed an agreement regulating the operations of the two countries’ air forces over Syria on October 20.
The memorandum established 24/7 communication channels between Russian and American military commanders, in order to prevent incidents and provide for the smooth operation of the two nations’ aircraft, and for mutual aid in critical situations.
As part of the deal, the American side pledged to convey the details of the deal to their anti-Islamic State coalition partners, to follow the rules it sets.
The Foreign Ministry said it was surprised by the “ridiculous” claim of Russia’s international isolation, which Washington is voicing ahead of John Kerry’s visit to Moscow on December 15.
“Given the fact that the US Secretary of State is coming to our country for the second time in the past seven months – and just as in May, the visit is organized upon the urgent request of the American side – such propagandist approaches are ridiculous,” it stressed.
The ministry stressed that Russia is ready for constructive cooperation with Washington, but “it’s only possible on the principles of equality and mutual respect.”
“In determining the areas for joint work with the US, we – as previously – are guided by our own interests, including the objective of strengthening home and international security,” it added.

well, not only did the US fail to impress upon Turkey that the Russian efforts are allied to the US coalition, but the US directly participated in the attack by using two E3’s one flying from Riyadh and the other from Preveza to stealthily shadow, triangulate and vector the Turkish F16’s to ambush the SU24 using a US supplied AIM9X missile. It is absurd to assume the Turkish Military does anything that is not approved and coordinated with US intelligence and theater command. The US even arranged for Fox & CNN to film the SU24 ambush in Syrian territory. However, very clearly, neither the Turkish President nor his government have any precise knowledge of what is being done in Turkey’s name by NATO which also does not officially want to know about what is being done by the ISIS covert support coalition (GCC, Israel, MI6, CIA & Turkish Gladio).
