Syria’s Bashar al-Assad has said he really wished Turkish jet was not shot down by Syrian forces, but he might has been happy if his forces could shot down an Israeli jet,Turkish media reported.

A turkish plane was shot down by Syrian forces on June 22 while flying over Syria’s sky. The event caused a serious tension between the two regimes.
Turkish authorities claimed that the jet was unarmed and on a solo flight to test its own radar systems.
Assad’s regime however claimed that the jet violated its airspaces and that they had no idea it was a Turkish jet.
Assad called Syria’s situation as sensetive and in a “sate of war”.
“We are in a state of war, so every unidentified plane is an enemy plane,” Cmhuriyet has quoted Assad as saying. “Let me state it again: We did not have the slightest idea about its identity when we shot it down.”
Assad has explained that Syrian forces shot down the jet because it used a corridor “which Israeli planes have used three times before… Of course, I might have been happy if this had been an Israeli plane.”
