Turkish PM Ahmet Davutoglu has said Ankara “will work with Russia and our allies to calm tensions” after Turkey shot down a Russian warplane.

Writing in the UK’s Times newspaper, Mr Davutoglu stressed that fighting Islamic State was the main priority.

But he also said Turkey must protect its sovereign territory.

Russia says a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down one of its SU-24 bombers over Syria on Tuesday. Turkey says the bomber violated its airspace.
