Putin informed of Turkey's request for meeting with Erdogan in Paris

Days after his country downed a Russian warplane, incurring the wrath of Moscow, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday he wanted to meet Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the climate summit in Paris next week.

France's president, Francois Hollande, met with Russian president, Vladmir Putin, in Moscow on Thursday to discuss cooperating in the war against terror.

Earlier, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow expected Turkey and other countries to respect the inviolability of marine traffic through the Black Sea straits as laid out in the Montreux Convention.

The Russian Defence Ministry, the Russian bomber was in the Syrian airspace at the time of the incident and there had been no violation of Turkish airspace.

Russian Federation launched its air campaign against IS targets in Syria late September at the request of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, which the Kremlin said have significantly diminished the combat capability of the terrorist group.

IS claimed the 13 November attacks in Paris which killed 130 people.

"But of course incidents like the destruction of our aircraft and the deaths of our servicemen... are absolutely unacceptable", Putin said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the act as a "stab in the back" by "accomplices of terrorists".

Russia, a major trade partner and Turkey's second biggest energy supplier after Iran, has demanded an apology for the shooting down of the plane by Turkish forces.

Turkey says the Russian plane strayed into its airspace and ignored repeated warnings but Russia insisted it did not cross the border and accused Ankara of a "planned provocation".

Turkey has been defiantly claiming that the Russian jet violated Turkish airspace, even as radar imaging from Russia's Hmeymim airbase in Syria show that the Turkish jet actually violated Syrian airspace to attack the Russian jet. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called it an "automatic reaction" to standing instructions given to the military.

"We need to talk about what happened", Erdogan said. "We will exchange information about whom to hit and whom not to hit", he said.

Speaking after the meeting, Mr Putin said that Russian Federation was willing to cooperate with opposition groups fighting ISIS, opening up the potential for Moscow to join forces opposed to Assad - the tyrant they have until now resolutely backed.
