MOSCOW, February 10. /TASS/. The statements of the Turkish ambassador to the UN on Moscow’s refusal to conduct dialogue with Ankara speak of the desire to decline all responsibility for the downed Russian Sukhoi Su-24 bomber, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday.
"We consider this to be nothing else but a propaganda move," she said. "We believe that these steps are designed to decline all responsibility for the destruction of the Russian jet and the murder of the crew commander."
The diplomat noted that Turkey itself creates no conditions for resuming dialogue with Russia.
"The Turkish side is once again trying to pretend that it is Moscow that ignores pleas for dialogue. We consider this to be nothing else but a propaganda move," she said. "We believe that these steps are designed to decline all responsibility for the destruction of the Russian jet on November 24, 2015, and the murder of the crew commander."
