The curious sobriety of Turkey’s Islamists

Although Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the incident was a “mistake” and expressed his sorrow, there is still no common agreement on the causes of the “mistake,” as Turkish officials claim that they informed the Russians of the location of the soldiers 10 days ago. Nevertheless, the government and its Islamist supporters have exhibited a curious kind of sobriety in the face of this terrible incident.
