SOCHI, November 24. /TASS/. Russia will not tolerate crimes like the attack on the Russian Su-24 fighter jet shot down by Turkish AA-forces in Syrian skies, President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday at a meeting with King of Jordan Abdullah II.

“I understand each country has its own regional interests, and we have always respected that. But we shall never tolerate crimes like today’s one,” the President said.

He expressed hope “the international community will find the forces to unite in the face of this common evil (terrorism).”

The Russian leader stressed that the Russian Su-24 fighter-bomber was posing no threat to Turkey.

 

Syrian rebel officials claim to have photos and video showing that one of two Russian pilots from a jet downed by the Turkish military has died.

Speaking to Reuters, the group said footage showing a dead man in apparent Russian air force gear was genuine, and captured on Tuesday in the northern countryside of Latakia province.

The video, which has not been independently verified, appeared to show Syrian rebel fighters standing around the body and chanting “Allahu Akbar”.

Another rebel official was quoted in the Associated Press as saying that the captured Russian pilot was found dead upon landing.

A major rescue operation was launched to bring back the two Russian pilots, whose jet was shot down after Turkey claimed it entered that country’s air space.
