The United States is behind the act of downing the Russian Su-24 jet in Syria by Turkish F-16s on Nov .24, claimed Igor Morozov, member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, on Dec. 6. 

“The decision (Recep Tayyip) Erdogan could not accept their own without help or a slight nod from Washington. On this basis we can assume what steps will be on today’s Turkey “ Morozov stressed.

Morozov also reiterated warnings that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has made about the Russian aircrafts.

“We remember when Kerry said that if Russia will behave this way the planes soon it will fall – that he (Su-24) and fell. We just thought it would be on the other side and it turned out that from its partners the allies“ he said.
