Paris, however, quickly dismissed the allegation and said that the jet involved in the incident was actually Swiss. The ministry in Moscow said in a statement that it had summoned France's ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert to "give an explanation" of the incident. "A plane of the French airforce flew dangerously close to a jet with a Russian parliamentary delegation headed by the Russian State Duma speaker Sergei Naryshkin," the statement said, adding the officials were travelling to a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva. "The ambassador was made aware of Russia's deep concern over what happened," it said, adding that "actions like these by Paris undermine the possibility of using France as a place for multilateral meetings and talks."

France's foreign ministry rebuffed the Russian claim, saying that "it was a Swiss plane, an F-18, and no French military plane is involved." Swiss authorities did not immediately give a reaction to the alleged incident. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova later said in televised comments that Moscow is waiting for an explanation from both the French and Swiss authorities over the incident. "We have to work out what happened and why it was done," Zakharova said. Naryshkin's spokeswoman Yevgenia Chugunova told AFP that the warplane flew so close that members of the delegation could take a picture. "I can confirm that this incident involving a French military plane happened this morning," she said. "We saw it very close."
Naryshkin, who is on both the EU and US blacklists for publicly supporting the deployment of Russian forces to Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, told Russian agencies he is aware of what happened although he did not see the warplane himself. Another member of the delegation, Sergei Gavrilov, told TASS news agency that the approach took place "at the altitude of 3,700 metres (12,100 feet) above the Swiss border" and called it an "unfriendly act by NATO".
Russia Says French Jet Flew Dangerously Close to Official Plane | Military.com
Switzerland's military said one of its fighter jets performed a routine identification check on a Russian plane in Swiss air space on Monday, prompting Moscow to complain the aircraft came "dangerously" close to each other. Russia initially summoned the French ambassador in Moscow to protest, alleging a French military jet had come into "dangerous proximity" with the Tupolev, whose passengers included the Speaker of its lower house en route to Geneva. Moscow, which had threatened not to use France as a venue for international meetings in retaliation, later apologised for the mistake.
A Swiss Department of Defence spokesman on Monday evening confirmed the fighter was a Swiss F/A 18 jet that had been sent to verify the identity of the Russian plane with diplomatic clearance. Spokesman Peter Minder said the Swiss jet flew close enough to make visual contact with the Russian pilot, but there was no danger of a collision. "It's standard procedure," Minder said, adding the Swiss military performs such "live missions ... a hundred times a year" to confirm that aircraft entering Switzerland's air space have appropriate clearance. "It's just a matter of identification," he said. Contact with the Russian pilot was made around 08:22 GMT and the plane's identity was confirmed, Minder said, at which point the Swiss fighter returned to its base. The Russian plane landed in Geneva as planned. France was quick to deny involvement. "No French army aircraft was involved in the incident with the official Russian aircraft that the Russian Foreign Ministry mentioned," France's defence and foreign ministries said in a joint statement. "We regret therefore that the French ambassador to Moscow was summoned on the spot."
The Russian Speaker, Sergei Naryshkin, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin was heading to Geneva for an international meeting of parliamentarians. Geneva's airport is very close to Switzerland's border with France, which may have led to confusion about whose airspace Naryshkin's aircraft was in and the jet's nationality. There has been an uptick in the number of near-miss type incidents involving NATO and Russian military aircraft since separatist conflict, which the West accuses Russia of stoking, broke out in Ukraine. Earlier this month, Putin travelled to Paris for talks on Ukraine with French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. NATO member states have accused Russian military jets in particular of flying dangerously close to Western military and civilian aircraft on numerous occasions. Moscow has denied breaking any aviation rules.
