“It is not possible to cover over a thing like this, whatever is necessary will be done … It is routine for jet fighters to sometimes fly in and out over (national) borders … when you consider their speed over the sea … These are not ill-intentioned things but happen beyond control due to the jets' speed.”

—  Abdullah Gül

“The circumference of earth at equator is 40,000 km and by dividing it with 24 hours (earth completes its rotation in a day), it comes out to 1,667 km. This reverse phenomenon happened at 60 degrees latitude because their jet plane managed a speed of 833.5 km which is half of circumference of the earth.”
