Bitter Pill for Erdogan: Russia Leaves Turkey a Helpless Spectator in Syria
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Since the Turkish military is not attacking the Russian military in Syria, Russia will not enter into a confrontation with Turkey, the head of Russia’s upper parliament’s Defense and Security Committee said Monday.

“Considering the fact that Turkish military personnel are not striking the Russian military in Syria, and the goal of our military in Syria is countering terrorism, Russia will not enter into a confrontation with the militaries of other countries that are not included as terrorists so as not to make the tense relations worse than they already are,” Viktor Ozerov told RIA Novosti.
