Moscow Wants Turkey to Objectively Investigate Killing of Russian Pilot
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia will ask Turkey to provide legal assistance in the investigation of Russian pilot Oleg Peshkov's death in Syria, Military Prosecutor Sergei Fridinsky said Thursday.

"I think that we need to do that [address Turkish law enforcement], the investigation itself presupposes that. I think that everything will sort itself out," he said.

On November 24, 2015, a Turkish F-16 fighter shot down a Russian Su-24 combat jet over Syria, which fell 2.5 miles south of the Turkish border. The jet was carrying out anti-terrorist operations in Syria. The crew of the plane ejected and one of the pilots, Oleg Peshkov, was killed by ground fire, while the second pilot survived. He was later rescued.
