During his Address to the Federal Assembly Vladimir Putin said that Allah decided to punish the Turkish ruling clique by making them mad. This was said in relation to the crush of SU-24.

‘We have always considered a betrayal as the most shameful thing. Those in Turkey, who shot our pilots in the back, should know this. All problems could be solved in another way. We were ready to cooperate on the most sensitive issues,’ the head of state said.

In his address to the Federal Assembly Vladimir Putin noted that ‘Turkey will not get away with a tomato ban for the incident with the Su-24.’
