TURKEY recovered the body of a Russian pilot from northern Syria and presented it to Russian diplomats yesterday, five days after shooting down his warplane.
A coffin carrying Oleg Peshkov arrived by ambulance on the tarmac of Hatay Airport in southern Turkey near the Syrian border. It was flown to the capital Ankara, where according to Russia’s RIA news agency it was met at an airfield by Moscow’s ambassador and military attache.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutgolu said yesterday that Peshkov’s body had arrived in Turkey overnight, but gave no further details of how it was recovered or brought across the border.
