ANKARA - Foreign Ministry spokesman Levent Bilman said Tuesday that Turkey made what he called "necessary diplomatic initiatives" as regards last Thursday`s violation of Turkish airspace by two U.S. fighter jets.
"The necessary diplomatic initiative has been taken today in line with common protocols followed in incidents of airspace violations, after receiving Monday a detailed technical report from the General Staff HQ," Bilman said.
The spokesman did not elaborate what he meant by "the necessary diplomatic initiative," but foreign ministry sources said earlier that U.S. Ambassador Ross Wilson would be summoned to the ministry and a diplomatic note would be delivered to him
