Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Wednesday said he was "ready to work" with Russia to prevent a repeat of last month's downing of a Russian plane by the Turkish military on the Syrian border.

"We are ready to work with Russia to prevent a repeat of similar incidents in the future," Davutoglu told foreign reporters in Istanbul, warning that without proper coordination over operations in Syria there will always be a risk of "accidents or unintentional confrontation".
