Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday said "tragedy with Russian Su-24 downed in Syria" would have "serious consequences" for Moscow-Ankara relations, Sputnik reported.
"Either way, our pilots and our plane were not posing a threat to the Republic of Turkey," the Russian president underscored.
"We have always regarded Turkey not only as a close neighbor, but also as a friendly state. I don't know who needed what was done today, but we didn't in any case," Putin said during a meeting with Jordanian King Abdullah II in Sochi.
Russia will analyze everything that happened with its crashed Su-24 military aircraft in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.
"We will, of course, carefully analyze everything that happened," Putin added.
"Instead of contacting us immediately Turkey addressed their NATO partners — as if it was us who downed their plane, not vice versa. Do they want to put NATO at the service of Daesh? " Putin said.
"Our jet fell six kilometers away from the border, within Syrian arispace," he added.
The Russian Su-24 was directly tasked with the fight against Daesh, carrying out preventative airstrikes against terrorists, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
A Russian Su-24 was shot down over Syria on Tuesday, according to reports from the Russian Defense Ministry. The two pilots were able to eject from the plane, although their current fate is unknown.
