Turkey's deputy prime minister also said Syria's actions "would not go unpunished", but made it clear it was not seeking military action.
The comments come as Nato's governing body prepares to hold an emergency meeting to discuss Friday's incident.
Damascus insists the F-4 jet was shot down inside Syrian airspace.
In a letter to the Security Council, Turkey condemned the "hostile act by the Syrian authorities against Turkey's national security".
It said it posed "a serious threat to peace and security in the region".
The BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN says the letter does not ask the council to take any action. |
