The General Staff of Turkey’s Armed Forces on Friday backed down from its previous claimthat its fighter jet was downed last month by Syrian forces.
“The actual cause of the incident will be established after the plane wreckage is raised from the seabed,” the General Staff said in a statement.
“No traces of explosives or flammable products were found on the debris recovered from the sea.”
