The following is from a post on Key Mags forum with a translation of the Turkish General Staff information.

Turkish General Staff issued an announcement and added the radar track history regarding the incident:

1. The Syrian Mi-17 was first detected as possible intruder and immediately tracked by the Diyarbakir CAOC at 1341, while it was 26nm from the border.

2. CAOC repeatedly issued warnings to the helicopters until it was 5nm to the border.

3. The helicopter intruded Turkish airspace at 1425 near Guvecci Gendarmerie Post at Yayladag, Hatay province at 14,200ft and 2km depth.

4. Two F-16C's that were on CAP nearby were diverted to intercept the helicopter.

5. The helicopter was shot at 1427 and crashed at 1km within the Syrian side of the border
