Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed Turkey's intention to continue to cooperate with the Russian Federation in a positive way. This was reported by Bloomberg.
"We cannot ignore such a country at this time. We will continue our relations with Russia in a positive way," Erdogan said.
The Turkish president also said that he could not afford to accept the negative attitude of world leaders toward Russian President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.
"Both leaders and prime ministers have a negative attitude towards Putin. Of course, we do not have the same attitude. I do not think this attitude is correct. Because Russia is not an ordinary country," he added.
In recent weeks, Turkey, in particular, has been negotiating with world leaders to help insure Russian food and fertilizer exports.
