In the wake of the Russian war-plane downing, Russia has deported 39 Turkish business men from Russia saying the businessmen were on tourist visas instead of business visas.
Although the businessmen said they didn’t know they had violated immigration laws, they were arrested and deported by authorities.
Both pilots ejected from the plane and one, Captain Konstantin Murakhtin, was rescued by Russian special forces after he landed in the forest in rebel-held territory but the other, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov was shot dead by rebels.
