Alexander Grushko commented on Turkey turning to NATO immediately after shooting down the Russian Aerospace Forces Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer on November 24, 'seeking political support, which was indeed provided.'
'NATO, guided by considerations of Atlantic solidarity…did not deal objectively because everyone understands that objectively this crime is a flagrant violation of international law,' Grushko told the Kommersant radio station.
'It contradicts not only the fundamental articles of the UN Charter and a large number of conventions, but even contradicts NATO recommendations themselves.'
