Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov said that downing of Russian Su-24 looks like a planned provocation. However, there is no sign that Russia wants a military escalation.
Sergei Lavrov said that now Russia is seriously rethinking relations with Turkey. Besides, Russian Foreign Minister cancelled his visit to Turkey.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey has no intention of straining ties with its “friend and neighbor” Russia.

According to the official data from the Turkish sources, the Russian jet entered the Turkish airspace just for 17 seconds.
