Russian President Vladimir Putin has labeled the downing of a Russian Sukhoi Su-24 aircraft by the Turkish Air Force a crime.

"We will never tolerate such crimes like the one that was committed today," Putin said at negotiations with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Tuesday.

"Of course, we expect the international community ultimately to find the nerve to consolidate in combating the common evil," Putin said, adding that Moscow also expects active engagement of all Middle Eastern countries.
