“The Turkish side knows very well what needs to be done in order to return to normal Russian-Turkish relations. What we said several weeks ago still stands today,” Meshkov told RIA Novosti in an interview.
“Instead of intensifying the situation and making completely invented claims against Russia, it would be better to look into the mirror and do what is done within civilized intergovernmental relations. Our position hasn’t changed,” Meshkov said.
On November 24, a Turkish F-16 fighter shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber with two pilots on board over Syria.
There have been no high-level contacts between the two countries following the November incident and Moscow's introduction of a series of economic measures against Ankara in response to the plane downing.
