Turkey should give an assessment to participation of its nationals in hostilities on the side of extremists in Syria, says a comment by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova in connection with the publication in Turkish media of an interview with the militant who shot dead a Russian pilot.
 
 "We demand that the Turkish leadership give an assessment to the actions and statements of their country’s national who confessed to committing an international crime, which is the murder of an air force pilot of a foreign state," the document said. 

"It’s time to say what the position of official Ankara is regarding participation of Turkish nationals in hostilities on the side of extremist illegal armed formations on the territory of a neighboring state," it said. 

"We demand that the Turkish authorities immediately take measures to catch Celik and his accomplices and hold them criminally responsible for the murder of the Russian pilot as well as participation in hostilities on the side of illegal armed units on the territory of a foreign state," Zakharova said.
