土耳其称叙利亚击落其侦察机是最严重的敌对行为,但同时表示不会与叙利亚开战。土耳其已请求北约会员国周二举行会议讨论应对办法。Jonathan Head在伊斯坦布尔报道。
The Turkish government has been holding an emergency cabinet meeting to decide what its response should be to the shooting down of one of its aircraft by Syria on Friday. Coming out of that meeting, though, the signal from Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc was that any response would be limited. We will not go to war, he said, despite the fact that Turkey insists the F-4 reconnaissance plane was in international airspace when it was hit without warning, and that Syria must have known it was a Turkish jet. He also revealed that Syria forces fired on a Turkish rescue plane that went to search for the missing crew members.
