As soon as Vladimir Putin postponed his visit to Ankara, the special
services of Turkey confiscated devices used in missiles on board
the plane Moscow-Damask. Parts of military communication equipment,
such as radios and receivers, were found on A320 owned by SyrianAir
Company. Numerous components of missiles were also found.
The Russian embassy demanded clarification from the Turkish foreign
ministry. But it is evident that the Turkish-Russian relations suffer
from disagreement over the Syrian issue. Russia supports the Syrian
government directly and indirectly, while Turkey acts as almost a
vanguard of the fight for Bashar Assad~Rs overturn.
Apparently, Turkey and Russia have failed to come to terms on
this issue so the visit was postponed. We should expect fresh
developments. It is not ruled out that Turkey which didn~Rt get
Putin~Rs understanding regarding other issues, such as gas or the
Armenian issue, has decided to spoil its relations with Moscow and
intervene in Syria.
The news that Putin~Rs visit in Armenia will take place is symptomatic
in this regard. Prior to that, if the scandal escalates, Russia will
have to enhance its presence on the border between Armenia and Turkey.
