Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday called wrong US sanctions on Iran.

“We will not obey such sanctions. I don’t consider the decision to introduce sanctions to be right. This move is aimed at violating the global balance,” TASS reported quoting Erdogan.

Erdogan reiterated that the sanctions "contradict the norms of international law.”

According to the president, Ankara does not want to "to live in an imperialistic world.”

Today, as the Turkish leader said, his country buys 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year from neighboring Iran.

US President Donald Trump on May 8 voiced Washington’s withdrawal from the Iranian deal and decided to re-impose sanctions on Iran.
