ANKARA- U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone said that the United States passed all information about the Turkish jet downed over the east of Mediterranean Sea to the Turkish government.

Speaking to AA correspondent, Ricciardone said that downing of the Turkish jet without any warning was unacceptable.

"All information that the United States shared with Turkey did not contradict the information Turkey got," he said.

Ricciardone said the U.S. technical research capabilities collaborated with Turkish navy.

The Turkish RF4 military reconnaissance plane was shot down by Syria on June 22 while on an unarmed training and test mission in international airspace after unintentionally straying into Syrian airspace.

The incident has drawn widespread international condemnation amid the continuing violence in Syria.
