Turkey wants to 'calm tensions' with Russia, Turkish Premier says

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Friday sought to ease tensions with Moscow over the downing of a Russian warplane on the Syrian border, calling for unity against the Islamic State group.

"While the measures to defend our territory will remain in place, Turkey will work with Russia and our allies to calm tensions," Davutoglu wrote in Friday's edition of The Times in London.

"The downing of an unidentified jet in Turkish airspace was not -- and is not -- an act against a specific country," he said.

Davutoglu emphasised that the international community should unite against a "common enemy".
