In less than a month, Russia and Turkey have illustrated what can easily happen when two countries become involved in a tit-for-tat dispute. 한 달도 채 안 된 기간에, 러시아와 터키는 두 나라가 티격태격 논쟁을 벌이면 어떤 일이 쉽게 발생할 수 있는지 잘 보여주었다.

The disagreement goes back to the downing of a Russian air force jet by two Turkish F-16s around Turkey's border with Syria on 24 November.

On one hand, Turkey maintains the plane crossed into its airspace. on the other, Russia says it stayed within Syria's borders.

Since then, Ankara and Moscow have traded barbs, introduced retaliatory measures and made calculated threats at one another.

The latest incident took place in the Black Sea and is disputed by both countries (more on that further down in this article).

Here is a rundown of what led to this point - and how each country has retaliated.

Tomatoes and warplanes

On 25 November, Gennady onishchenko, Russia's former chief sanitary inspector and now a prime ministerial aide, said that "each Turkish tomato" bought in Russia contributed to the country's economy and thus to purchasing missiles that could potentially be fired at Russian warplanes.

Russia's agriculture minister said that around 15% of Turkish produce did not meet Russian safety standards and controls were tightened.

Sanctions against Turkey were expected, and they were duly announced three days later on 28 November.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the move affected imports from Turkey, the work of Turkish companies in Russia and any Turkish nationals working for Russian companies.

The decree also called for an end to charter flights between the countries and suspended the visa-free arrangement for Turks visiting Russia.

It also means that Russian football clubs are banned from buying Turkish players - for the time being at least.

Oil accusation

On 2 December, Russia's defence ministry accused the family of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of being directly involved in the trade of oil with the so-called Islamic State group - Mr Erdogan calls the claim "slander".

Russia's Deputy Defence Minister Anatoly Antonov said Turkey was the biggest buyer of "stolen" oil from Syria and Iraq - Mr Putin had earlier said the plane was shot down to protect areas where oil was being transported.

Oil accusation (take two)

A day later, it was Turkey's turn to accuse Russia of buying oil from IS. "We have the proof in our hands," Mr Erdogan said - but no more was forthcoming on this from Ankara.

Missile launcher

Turkey was not happy when images emerged on 6 December showing a Russian serviceman apparently holding a missile launcher as his ship passed through Turkish waters.

Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the incident a "provocation".

Warning shots

On 13 December, Russia said one of its warships fired warning shots at a Turkish fishing boat in the Aegean Sea to avoid a collision, claiming that the Turkish vessel approached to 600m (1,800ft) before turning away in response to Russian small arms fire.

The captain of the Turkish boat said he was unaware that his vessel had been shot at.

Crimea kerfuffle

In the most recent development, a Russian company said on 14 December that a Turkish boat refused to move out of the way of a convoy of Russian ships transporting oil rigs in the Black Sea.

The AFP news agency reports that a patrol boat from the Russian FSB security service's border guard and a missile boat from the Russian Black Sea Fleet forced it to change course.

The incident reportedly occurred on 24 November, the same day the plane was shot down, but was announced only on Monday.
