Q: What is the attitude of Belarus to the downing of the Russian fighter jet by the Turkish Air Force?

A: Such tragic and very dangerous incidents cause deep regret and extreme concern. Especially when they occur in a region, where a bloody armed confrontation is ongoing for several years already, and when countries like brotherly Russia and friendly Turkey are involved in it.

This dramatic turn of events is not of the interest of any of the countries involved in the incident and might have political consequences for the common task of the international community — the fight against international terrorism.

Such situations require self-control and cooperation, aimed at de-escalation of the tension and clarification of all details of the incident in order to avoid their occurring in the future.
