3. Similar incident took place in November 2015

This incident is a similar to the incident which took place in Nov 2015. A Russian warplane flying a sortie over Syria was shot down, after it has violated turkey’s airspace. This incident has triggered a diplomatic rupture in which Russia imposed economic sanctions. This new incident had now come two months post this Nov 2015 incident.

4. Russian SU-34 ignored warnings

The Foreign Ministry of Turkey said that the Russian SU-34 had crossed into Turkish airspace on Friday. Despite of several warnings they ignored and entered the Turkish airspace. The warnings were given both in Russian and English languages by the Turkish radar units.

  1. I am the co-founder of JustCBD Store label (justcbdstore.com) and I’m presently looking to develop my wholesale side of company. I really hope that anybody at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance . I considered that the most suitable way to accomplish this would be to reach out to vape stores and cbd retailers. I was hoping if anyone could recommend a reliable website where I can purchase Vape Shop B2B Sales Leads I am already looking at creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Unsure which one would be the very best selection and would appreciate any support on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
