The President of Turkey personally gave the order to open fire on the Russian Su-24.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan personally gave the order to shoot down the Russian Su-24 front-line bomber in the sky over Syria, as reported by the Nezavisimaya Gazeta newspaper citing the Nordic Research Monitoring Network.

“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan personally ordered in the 2015 year to strike at the Russian Su-24 aircraft, which was carrying out a combat mission in Syria. Such a conclusion is made at the Stockholm-based organization Nordic Research Monitoring Network, which had at its disposal documents from closed briefings at NATO. The Turkish expert community confirms that there was an attempt from Ankara to hide who is behind the blow order. It is possible that data on the role of Erdogan may be useful to Russia. ”, - reports "Независимая газета».

Noteworthy in this journalistic investigation is that the publication “Nordic Research Monitoring Network” quotes Erdogan that he personally ordered to shoot down any aircraft approaching the Turkish borders.

“Each military facility approaching Turkey from the Syrian border and posing a threat to national security will be identified as a military threat and regarded as a military target”

It is necessary to clarify that earlier information on the involvement of the Turkish leader in the destruction of the Russian Su-24 has already appeared, but without relevant facts it was not seriously considered.
