QUESTION ANSWER

We can say that we are self-sufficient. Nobody is friendly, he doesn’t live up to anyone’s whims. We defend the national interests of our countries. We are trying to reach a consensus on interests.
Cavusoglu: Turkey opposes sanctions, it does not matter for whom or for whom. In the past, the EU has imposed sanctions on Russia. We certainly did not agree and said it was not true. Problems cannot be solved with sanctions. The latest US sanction decision is also a wrong decision. The decision itself is wrong. Everyone knows very well that we will not back down with sanctions. We choose to solve all problems through dialogue, including the S-400 problem. We also recommend that EU countries opt for dialogue rather than questioning our relations with other countries.
