BERLIN
German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere on Tuesday said that they were on Turkey's side following the downing of a Turkish military jet by Syria last Friday.
Receiving members of the Foreign Journalists Society in Berlin, Minister Maiziere said he had a chance to discuss the situation in Syria during a recent visit to Turkey.
On the Turkish military jet downed by Syria, Maiziere stressed that the military jet was unarmed and it was unacceptable to see the downing of the jet by Syria.
I fully support the statements of EU foreign ministers who convened in Luxembourg on Monday on Syria, Maiziere also said.
