Vladimir Putin sent heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the Russian servicemen – crew members of the Be-200 aircraft that crashed in Turkey. The President of Russia also sent a message of condolences to President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the death of Turkish nationals aboard the aircraft.
Minister Sergei Shoigu received instructions to nominate the servicemen who died in the Be-200 crash while they were extinguishing fires in the southeast of Turkey for state decorations posthumously.
The President’s message to the friends and loved ones of the Russian servicemen reads:
“The Russian servicemen, Be-200 crew members, alongside with Turkish specialists were taking part in a crucial humanitarian mission, protecting people’s lives as they fought the extensive wildfires in the Republic of Turkey. They worked in the toughest conditions and performed their human and professional duty until the end.
I understand that tragedy has come upon each family of the deceased. Please accept my sincere words of support. I am sure that the memory of these courageous people will be preserved forever both in Russia and in Turkey.”
Vladimir Putin also sent a message to President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “Alongside the Turkish people, Russians are fighting the disaster that befell your country.
