If you violate our airspace, our slap after this will be hard, Mr. Erdogan told his supporters. One report from Damascus says that Syria condemns Turkish action as a flagrant act of aggression. The governments of Turkey and Syria have been on opposite sides of Syria's war since October 2011. Over the last year and a half, there have been a number of incidents along their 900km long border.”

“雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安在伊斯坦布尔的集会上讲话说,土耳其F-16s击落了一架入侵土耳其领空的叙利亚战机。如果你侵犯了我们的领空,我们就会强烈反击,埃尔多安这么对支持者说。来自大马士革的报道称叙利亚谴责土耳其公然进犯,自2011年10月叙利亚战争爆发以来,土耳其和叙利亚政府就一直是敌对的双方。在过去一年半中,两国900公里的边界发生多次事件。”

The reason for that was no secret that there is a growing aspiration in France with the two main parties, the UMP and the ruling Socialist. We do need to keep some sense of proportion knowing all this. The chances of winning many towns, control many towns are very, very small. This is a two-round election that we get.”

“我们需要保持一定的比例,在一些城市已经开始了,比如佛雷瑞斯、佩皮尼昂和阿维尼翁,第一轮选票中已经取得了重大成果。其原因不言而喻,那是因为人们对人民运动联盟和执政的社会党的期待越来越多,我们需要了解一下比例问题。能够赢得很多城市、控制很多城市的机会很小,还需要进行第二轮选举。”
