Turkey Slams Russian Missile Launcher 'Provocation'
The ambassador was called to the ministry on Monday amid escalating Russian-Turkish tensions following Turkey's downing of a Russian warplane near the border with Syria last month.
Earlier, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the Russian ship's passage with the missile launcher on display a provocative act that "has to end."
The minister renewed a call for the two sides to overcome tensions through diplomatic means and for Russia to halt punitive sanctions on Turkey.
Cavusoglu added: "We are asking Russia to act as a more mature state."
