Putin calls for broad international anti-suicide front

Russia's President Vladimir Putin called Thursday for a broad international front against terrorism and accused Turkey of trading oil with Daesh group, ABC reported on Thursday.

Speaking in his state-of-the-nation address televised live, Putin called for an end to what he called double standards that hampered uniting global efforts in fighting terrorism.

"We must leave all arguments and disagreements behind and make one powerful fist, a single anti-terror front, which would work on the basis of international law under the aegis of the United Nations," he said, addressing lawmakers and top officials who gathered in an ornate Kremlin hall. "That means no shelter to bandits, no double standards, no contacts whatsoever with any terrorist organizations, no attempts to use them for some other goals, no criminal, bloody business with terrorists."
