The Downed Jet - The Shot-Down Helicopter: The Limits of Legal Compliance

Original title: Düşürülen Jet-Vurulan Helikopter: Hukuka Uygunluğun Sınırı

A year ago, the discussion of compliance with international law began with the downing of a Turkish warplane. Over time, the rules of engagement changed and finally, the downing of a military helicopter belonging to the Syrian army due to a border violation. The fact that both incidents occurred from different points qualifies the first incident as a violation of international law and the second as an application of international law.
