Dmitry Peskov, Press Spokesman of the Russian President, spoke about Russian-Turkish relations during an interview with “Izvestia” newspaper.

Ermenihaber.am reported.

“Undoubtedly, Turkey is a friendly country for us. Turkey is a very important partner for us both in terms of political as well as trade and economic cooperation. We know that Turkey has not joined the illegal anti-Russian sanctions, Turkey actually conducts a sovereign, independent foreign policy,” Peskov said.

According to him, the potential of cooperation between the two countries is huge and has not yet been fully used.

At the same time, Peskov emphasized that there are disagreements between Russia and Turkey on a number of issues, such as Ukraine.

Referring to Turkey’s attempts to organize negotiations between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Peskov noted. “As for the meeting between Putin and Zelensky, nothing has changed in this matter. We do not need a meeting just for the sake of meeting.”
