Hoyer Statement on Incident Between Russia and Turkey
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today:
"Today's incident underscores the problems presented by Russia's military operations in Syria. There must be coordination with NATO and other coalition forces in order to ensure that what occurred today does not happen again. Russian political and military leaders need to reach out to their Turkish counterparts in order to defuse tensions raised by this incident and prevent an escalation. It is critical for nations that have expressed a determination to help destroy ISIS to take the necessary steps of coordinating efforts and ensuring that air operations and target selection reflect this shared strategic goal."
