18. Former intelligence director of Turkish General Staff: US intends to create Turkish-Russian confront

Istanbul. Mayis Alizade – APA. The incident with the Russian warplane over the Turkish-Syrian border should be thoroughly analyzed, former intelligence director of the Turkish General Staff, Lt. Gen. İsmail Hakkı Pekin told APA’s Turkey correspondent.

“Mujahadeen forces - Chechens and Uyghurs are fighting against the Syrian government forces in two hills of Bayir Bucak region. Those jihadists are succumbing to panic as Russia warplanes and Syrian army advance,” he said.

The US wants to create a confrontation between Turkey and Russia over this incident, the former intelligence director said, noting that rising to the bait, Turkey asked for NATO’s assistance.

“We shouldn’t forget that the Russian warplane was shot down on the US-Israel corridor,” he added.
