Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that conditions are needed to re-develop relations with Russia.
Prior to his visit to Uganda, Erdoğan reminded about the relations with Russia at a press-conference, Turkish Cumhuriyet reports.
“Turkey is not a country on a prisoners’ dock. At the same time, Turkey is not a country which spoils relations. We want to improve our relations with Russia. [But] Question arises as to why enormous Turkey has been sacrificed because of the mistake of a Russian pilot,” Erdoğan said.
