Sochi, Russia (IINA) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday cancelled a visit to Turkey in the wake of the shooting down of a Russian warplane by the Turkish Air Force, Anadolu Agency reported.
Lavrov had been due to visit Istanbul on Wednesday to meet his Turkish counterpart. “A decision has been made to cancel the meeting at the level of Russian and Turkish foreign ministers, which was planned to be held (on Wednesday) in Istanbul”, Lavrov told reporters in Sochi. He also urged Russians not to travel to Turkey.
A Russian warplane was shot down on the Turkish-Syrian border Tuesday after repeatedly ignoring warnings that it was violating Turkish airspace.
