Original title: Türkiye’nin Düşürülen Uçağı ve Uluslararası Hukuktan Doğan Hakları
On June 22, 2012, the downing of a Turkish military aircraft, which was flying a mission in the Eastern Mediterranean, by fire from Syria while it was over the Mediterranean southwest of Hatay province, brought about many discussions. The foremost of these discussions is whether the unrest in Syria will spread to the countries in the region, as well as what attitude Turkey will adopt. When we look at what has happened in the past year, it can be observed that Turkey has been seriously affected by the instability in Syria.
On the one hand, the events in Syria, which has been shaken by internal unrest for a long time, on the other hand, people crossing the border and coming to Turkish territory, harassing fires opened on Turkey from the Syrian border, and finally the downing of a Turkish military aircraft have created sufficient infrastructure for the tension of relations.
