“现在那里有了S-400，如果此前土耳其空军时常侵犯叙利亚空域，那现在他们再去试试！”17日在自己的年度记者会上 ，俄罗 斯总统普京再次对土耳其撂狠话。他还毫不顾忌地称土领导层中有人“想舔美国人的某个部位”。

《环球时报》记者在现场看到，整场记者会既严肃又不失活泼，每当出现尖锐问题和巧妙回答时，现 场掌声笑声不 断。上千名记者不可能人人都有机会提问，从俄罗斯各州赶来的地方记者为了吸引眼球想尽办法，准 备了各种各样 的横幅、旗帜、海报。到发布会末尾，还没提问的记者纷纷焦急地喊出自己代表的地区和媒体。据俄 罗斯卫星网报 道，此次记者会共持续3小时零7分，回答44个问题。

谈到美国大选，普京表示，无论谁赢得胜利，俄罗斯都想发展与美国的关系。他称美国共和党参选人 特朗普是有才 华、杰出的人，欢迎他对待俄罗斯的立场。对于国际足联丑闻，普京表示，有西方阴谋成分在，任何 国家都无权将 本国司法运用于国际组织。谈及国际足联前主席布拉特，普京称，“布拉特是一位非常受人尊敬的人 ，他为发展世 界足球运动做了很多，我们应该颁给他诺贝尔和平奖”。普京还在记者会上证实，两个女儿均生活在 俄罗斯，从未 留学海外。

“普京展示强健的肌肉”，德国N24电视台17日评论说，尽管石油价格下跌、卢布贬值、工业和外 贸低迷、遭 受西方制裁、与土耳其不和，但普京依旧展示“强者”形象，在记者会上，依旧我行我素，不改变一 贯的风格。俄 罗斯科学院欧洲研究所研究员亚历山大·古谢夫对俄罗斯媒体表示，普京是俄罗斯最大的乐观主义者 ，而这种精神 将支持俄渡过难关

Vladimir Putin dares Turkey to test Russia’s air defences in Syria

Russian President Vladimir Putin again raised the stakes Thursday in his country’s conflict with Turkey, using a press conference to dare the Turkish Air Force to try flying in Syrian airspace now that Russia has deployed sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles in the region.

Relations between Russia and Turkey – and specifically between Mr. Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – have been hostile since a Nov. 24 incident that saw a Turkish fighter jet shoot down a Russian Su-24 warplane that Ankara says briefly entered its airspace. One of the two pilots was shot dead by Syrian rebels as he parachuted to the ground; the other survived and was rescued.

While both Russia and Turkey claim to be taking part in the fight to destroy the Islamic State, their other aims in Syria are at loggerheads. Ankara has aided any and all groups that share its goal of toppling President Bashar al-Assad. Moscow, meanwhile, intervened in the conflict this fall to keep Mr. al-Assad’s regime from collapsing.

“We think the actions of the Turkish leadership toward our plane that was shot down were not just unfriendly, it was a hostile action – an act of enmity,” Mr. Putin told his annual year-end news conference in Moscow. “Did they really think we would flee after the incident? That we would remove all our forces?” he continued. “Russia is not a country that withdraws or shies away from the challenge. On the contrary, we increased our military presence, we increased the number of our aircraft, we increased our anti-aircraft missiles, etc. Before that, the Turkish Air Force was flying over Syria. Well, I invite them to try flying over Syria now, because they will get a very serious response.”

Turkey appears to have already been avoiding Syrian airspace since the incident. Turkish media have reported that the country’s warplanes have stopped taking part in a U.S.-led campaign of air strikes against IS out of concern that Russian or Syrian forces would try to shoot down a Turkish jet in retaliation for the downing of the Su-24. (Russian jets, unlike planes from the U.S.-led coalition, are flying over Syria at the invitation of the government.)

Mr. Putin made plain that he was personally offended by the way the Turkish government handled the Su-24 incident. He said that if it had been an accident, he would have expected a phone call from Turkish leadership explaining what had happened. Instead, he noted, Ankara called immediately for an emergency meeting of the NATO military alliance.

The Russian president’s fury was such that he descended toward the obscene while discussing relations with Turkey. At one point, he speculated that Turkey may have shot down the Russian jet at the behest of the United States, perhaps in exchange for the United States turning a blind eye to a recent Turkish military deployment in northern Iraq. “Maybe someone in the Turkish leadership decided to lick the Americans in a particular place,” Mr. Putin said to applause.

He also said relations with Turkey had been good right up until Nov. 24 and that “the Turkish leadership” even approached him during last month’s G20 summit in Antalya with a “delicate” request that Mr. Putin said was outside the boundaries of international law. He did not specify what was asked but said Russia had been ready to help.

No longer. “It is very difficult to achieve understanding with the leadership of Turkey. Again they backstabbed us. So on the inter-state level, I see no prospect of Russian-Turkish relations improving. There is no chance.”

Suat Kiniklioglu, a former MP in Mr. Erdogan’s AKP party who is now a critic of the government, said he believes Mr. Erdogan “miscalculated” in ordering the shooting down of the Russian jet.

“Had [Mr. Erdogan] known the consequences would be as dramatic as they are now, I don’t think he would have gone for it,” Mr. Kiniklioglu said in an interview in Ankara. “He thought he was really good buddies with Putin. He respects Putin a lot and likes the way he challenges the West and the international order. He now understands Putin didn’t give a damn about all of that and he only cares about Russia’s national interests.”

Mr. Erdogan has himself favoured anti-Western rhetoric in recent years, Mr. Kiniklioglu said, but when Russia responded angrily to the downing of the Su-24, “he suddenly remembered he’s a NATO member and he made a full U-turn.”

Mr. Putin, who met Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, said he was supportive of a draft United Nations resolution that Mr. Kerry was preparing. It calls for a peace process that includes a new Syrian constitution and – eventually – elections.

“We support the U.S. initiative on Syria, as well as the proposed UN resolution. I think after reading the resolution project, the Syrian government will be content as well,” Mr. Putin said.

In the meantime, however, he said Russia would continue its war effort in support of Mr. al-Assad. “We will continue our air strikes as long as the Syrian army continues to fight.”
