Damascus, SANA – Minister of Information Omran al-Zoubi said that shooting the Russian plane over the Syrian soil violates the Syrian sovereignty and reveals the Turkish role in supporting the armed terrorist groups in Syria, on top of which the ISIS “Daesh”.

In an interview with Sputnik News Agency on Tuesday, al-Zoubi confirmed the Russian warplane was over the Syrian soil and never violated the Turkish airspace, adding that the incident unmasks the active Turkish role in supporting the armed terrorist organizations in Syria.

The Turkish government, said the Syrian official, should justify and explain its relation with the ISIS, whom it allowed its fighters to enter the Syrian territories and supported them with weapons and money.

He stressed that the Turkish regime was deeply worried over the defeats of the terrorist groups and their withdrawal from the Syrian lands into Turkey, especially from Lattakia’s northern countryside.
