Turkey's prime minister called on Russia on Wednesday to respect Turkey's frontiers, saying the country wouldn't "make any concessions" on matters concerning its border security, after two Russian warplanes strayed into Turkish airspace over the weekend.
Turkey and Russia are important trade partners and Turkey is strongly dependent on Russian gas imports.
"We would not want any tensions with Russia, but it is our right as a neighbor to expect Russia to respect Turkey's airspace and borders and to respect Turkey's interests in Syria," Davutoglu told reporters in Istanbul.
"We would not make any concessions in connection to our border security and air space security," he said.
