News: Putin gets Turkish advice "Don't play with fire"

I found this new on the Huffington post, It was posted a few days a go. It consists on a declaration that the Turkish prime minister did which refered to Russia.

SUMMARY:
Vladimir Putin has been warned not "to play with fire" by the Turkish army. This is due to the fact that both nations did several reivindicative acts against what happened last week. By one side, a russian warplane was destroyed by a turkish missile. By th other, Russia threatened Turkey stating that he would have his personal revenge.


The polemic is between to versions of what happened. Russia says that the plane was destroyed on Syria's territory (30 miles away from the frontier). Turkish says that they spent a lot of time warning that plane to abandon their jurisdiction and they finally destroyed it for the security of their citizens.

Turkey's politicians say that it's been a problem between these countries armys, they say that they wouldn't like to damage the relations between Russia and Turkey.

Vocabulary learned:
Stab in the back: Betrayal
To bomb sth: To do repetitive attacks with aerial explosives somewhere.
Airspace: Security jurisdiction that a country has. In this space they can destroy whatever it threats their security.

 Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish prime minister
Vladimir Putin, Russian prime minister

My opinion:
I think that this conflict might not have been taken this way. It's true that both countries have problems with Syria so they should help each other instead of stabbing each other. Maybe what motivated Syria to attack Russia is the unstable history of the european giant. It wouldn't be the first time they commit betrayal so they had more than a reason to be afraid. In the other hand, there are more ways to stop a plane than destroying it, there are Russian ambassadors in Ankhara...but it's just a formal suggestment... Summarizing, it has been a wrong act from both sides, but specially from Turkey who might not destroy anymore planes that can cause their self destruction.
