Turkey and Russia inched closer to all our war today after Ankara insisted it will hold Vladimir Putin personally responsible for future terror attacks on its soil.
In an astonishing warning Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu made the extraordinary comments after Kurdish militants apparently carried out a deadly car bombing in the country's capital on Wednesday in which 28 people including six Turkish soldiers were killed.
The row is the latest escalation in a heated war of words between Russia and Turkey which broke out after the latter shot down a Soviet jet over Syria.
Both sides have accused each other of sponsoring terrorism, with Mr Putin claiming last year that Turkey is buying oil from ISIS militants.
In a televised statement, a furious Mr Davutoglu said: "I am warning Russia once more. If these terror attacks continue, they will be as responsible as the YPG.
Russia has repeatedly denied involvement in terrorist activities, instead insisting that it is Ankara which is sponsoring terrorists.
The YPG has denied carrying out Wednesday's atrocity in Ankara, claiming that it was an inside job by the Turkish government to build a case for sending ground troops into Syria, Express reported.
