Greek MP in Turkey Twitter outburst

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has attacked his Turkish counterpart on Twitter after the downing of a Russian plane, prompting an admonishing reply.
Mr Tsipras posted four tweets on Sunday addressed to Ahmet Davutoglu, complaining about Turkish violations of Greek airspace.
“Fortunately our pilots are not mercurial as yours against the Russians,” his first tweet read.
Mr Davutoglu replied urging Mr Tsipras to “focus on our positive agenda”.
The exchange followed last week’s downing of the Russian warplane by Turkey.
