Moscow, 23 Dzulhijjah 1436/7 October 2015 (MINA) — Russia’s deputy defense minister Anatoly Antonov said on Tuesday that Russia was prepared to talk to Turkish officials to prevent potential “misunderstandings” regarding its airstrikes in Syria.

The statement comes after a Russian fighter jet was intercepted by Turkish warplanes after violating Turkey’s airspace on Saturday.

“Russia’s defense ministry is ready to form a working group with any state regarding this issue. We will be pleased to host Turkish Defense Ministry officials in Moscow to prevent the misunderstandings about Syria,” Antonov said in a statement, Anadolu Agency quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
