‘Nothing can be done’ about placing sanctions on Russia: Turkey’s Erdogan
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that “nothing can be done” about placing sanctions on Russia due to Turkey’s energy needs, Reuters reports, citing Turkish broadcaster NTV.Speaking to reporters on a return flight from a NATO summit in Brussels, Erdogan also said Turkey could not impose sanctions on Russia due to its energy needs and cooperation.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday any compromises agreed with Russia to end the war would need to be voted upon in a referendum.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Erdogan said he would hold separate calls with Ukrainian and Russian counterparts in coming days to evaluate the summit.NATO member Turkey shares a maritime border with Ukraine and Russia in the Black Sea, has good ties with both and has offered to mediate the conflict. While supporting for Ukraine and being critical of Russia, Ankara has opposed sanctions on Moscow.“We are buying nearly half of the natural gas we use from Russia. Separately, we are making our Akkuyy Nuclear Power Plant with Russia. We cannot set these aside,” Erdogan said.“So there is nothing that can be done here. We must maintain our sensitivity on this issue. Firstly, I can’t leave my people in the cold of the winter. Secondly, I cannot halt our industry. We must defend these,” he added.He also said Ukrainian and Russian negotiators were able to agree on four out of the six main issues being discussed during peace talks, but that territorial disputes on the eastern region of Donbass and Crimea remained.Read more:Position on procurement of Russian S-400s unchanged: Turkey’s President ErdoganADQ, Turkey Wealth Fund launch $300 mln VC fund to invest in innovative startupsTurkey, Germany, others brace for hit to tourism sector from Russia-Ukraine war

Position on procurement of Russian S-400s unchanged: Turkey’s President Erdogan
Turkey’s position on its acquisition of Russian S-400 missile defense systems is unchanged and the matter is a “done deal”, President Tayyip Erdogan was cited as saying on Friday, adding talks with Washington on new F-16 jets and kits were going well.The United States imposed sanctions on NATO member Turkey’s defense industry in December 2020 over the S-400s and expelled Ankara from the F-35 stealth fighter jet program, where it was a manufacturer and buyer. Ankara says the moves are unjust.Broadcaster Haberturk cited Erdogan as telling reporters on a return flight from a NATO summit in Brussels that he hoped positive talks on purchasing new F-16 jets and modernization kits from Washington would yield results soon.He also dismissed reports that US officials had informally raised with Turkey the unlikely possibility of sending the S-400 systems to Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion, saying “all they do is cause commotion” in reference to Washington.Erdogan said he also discussed the possibility of buying SAMP-T missile defense systems from the Franco-Italian Eurosam consortium with French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi at the summit.For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Read more:Turkey, Germany, others brace for hit to tourism sector from Russia-Ukraine warTurkey urges Libya to avoid steps that could renew clashes
