President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has defended the shooting down of a Russian warplane by Turkish jets on Tuesday.
"Everybody should respect Turkey’s right to protect its own borders," said Erdogan, addressing a group of educators in the Turkish capital Ankara as the country celebrates Teachers' Day.
"This incident happened within the framework of the rules of engagement that Turkey had already announced," Erdogan said. "No one should have any doubt that we have done our best to avoid this incident".
