26 June 2012 - ANKARA, (SANA) – The Turkish Communist Party held the government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan responsible for the incident of the Turkish military plane which was shot down by the Syrian anti air defenses after violating the Syrian airspace, calling for the government's resignation.

The Central Committee of the party said in a press release made on Monday that "This behavior is a dirty game played by the Turkish government supported by the USA and Israel. It is not the first provocative move made by the Turkish government."
