(MENAFN- Arab News) The timing of the confrontation between Turkey and Russia is not very suitable. Both sides should try to de-escalate the situation as it is in the interest of the two countries the region and the entire world. They are partners in the fight against Daesh. The incident of downing of Russia warplane was unfortunate but the two sides should not allow anybody to take advantage of this situation. Instead of exchanging accusations Moscow and Ankara should chalk out a strategy to prevent occurrence of such incidents in future. The incident also indicates a lack of effective communication between the two sides. Hina Jawwad Jeddah
