Ankara: Turkey on Saturday said differences over Syria “shouldn’t affect” relations with Russia, local media reported, after both countries’ foreign ministers met in Munich.
“The differences of opinion in Syria shouldn’t affect Turkey-Russia relations. The situation in Idlib will not affect the S-400 agreement,” broadcaster NTV reported Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as saying.
Turkey purchased the Russian S-400 air defence system despite opposition from NATO ally the United States and the threat of sanctions.
