Turkish plane attack: Pakistan expresses regret, shock

Pakistani foreign office spokesman says, 'we express our solidarity with Turkey over this unprovoked tragic incident.'

ISTANBUL: Pakistan has expressed “deep shock and regret” after Syrian troops opened fire on a rescue plane searching for pilots shot down on Friday. A Pakistani foreign office spokesman said: “We express our solidarity with Turkey over this unprovoked tragic incident.”

“We urge Syria to cooperate with Turkey in carrying out a joint investigation… We urge restraint in avoidance of any action that may lead to an escalation of tensions in the region’’.

Turkish Vice Prime Minister Bulent Arinc had said on Monday: “One of our CASA planes took off with a rescue team. Unfortunately, shots from the ground targeted our plane. Our foreign ministry and our military command have notified Syrian authorities and this harrassment must cease immediately”.

It is clearly staged. And done hastily too.

I can't see anything any single plane, I would dismiss this video, it is lack evidence. Syrians are celebrated at the beach during Assad regime revolution where many people killed ? They are damn crazy.

Syria shot down a Turkish jet in the international airspace 11 minutes later than the violation which lasted for only five minutes. Even the missile which caused the jet to fall down is fired 10 minutes 40 seconds later than the violation ended by a direct order from Damascus, which means the action was deliberate, hostile and supposed to give a message. How do you hope it doesnt increase tentions between two countries?

I repeat the stance which Pakistan's FO took, as we thin it will destablise the region more & the mater should be solved with diplomatic pressure with proper investigation which includes all parties/countries cz common ppls have already suffered alot in this region due to this idiotic acts of govts...

We will not declare a war, of course. However, everybody must expect a strong retaliation from Turkey, either diplomatically or military. Turkey is not a country, which you can shot down its plane in the international airspace and expect it to do nothing.

I don't care if Turkeys plane gets shot down, none of Pakistan's business.

 

[JonAsad]

Turkey must back down- Let the amrikans and NATO handle them-

 

[Kompromat]

Pakistan OFFICIALLY stands for Turkey. Whats Pakistan's rather quiet stance on Asad ? Well here you go !

We have our own problems to deal with- plus there is sizeable amount of shias in Pakistan- which in case of open support could spark some unrest-

its not our region- nor war- so its better to stay out of it-

Turkey and Syria are both brotherly MUSLIM countries-

Look how much excited Israeli zionist are- its a win win situation for them-

Of course we will. Unlike Iran and Syria we always did that. This lack of thinking before acting is why Syria and Iran is in big trouble now. We're not acting first and asking later, that is why we hadn't shot down Syrian aircrafts few months ago.
This is the difference between us, you're not thinking before making funny decisions.

Turkey told foreign ambassadors that Syrian air forces had violated the Turkish border five times in recent months but had not been intercepted as these had not been considered “hostile” moves. The Turkish side implemented rules of engagement in these cases but did not respond to them in the way Syria did to the Turkish jet.
