(CNN)Turkey will not apologize for downing a Russian fighter jet it says violated Turkish airspace near the Syrian border, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in an exclusive CNN interview Thursday in Ankara.
"I think if there is a party that needs to apologize, it is not us," he said from the Turkish capital. "Those who violated our airspace are the ones who need to apologize. Our pilots and our armed forces, they simply fulfilled their duties, which consisted of responding to ... violations of the rules of engagement. I think this is the essence."
In a meeting with community leaders in Ankara, Erdogan said, "If the same violation occurs today, Turkey has to react the same way."

What is not being reported along with this story is Russia has been bombing Turkish territory on several instances in the past and has warned Russia this would happen if they did it again. Putin says he is fighting terrorists but in truth maybe 1 in 4 missions is directed at ISIS, the rest is in support of Assad and his government. The Turks support the rebels and really take offense when Russia blows up targets in Turkey. Typically when one country starts attacking another country's territory, the attacker can't really get upset when they shoot back.
When Wurtsmith AFB was closing in '93, the local radio station did a spoof about a B-52G being shot down by a super-soaker en route to the Boneyard.
