“As for the assistance of Saudi Arabia ... By the way, speaking in the same Holy Quran it is said about the unacceptability of any kind of violence, except for protection of some kind. Here, in order to protect our family, our country, we are ready to provide appropriate assistance to Saudi Arabia, and it is enough for the political leadership of Saudi Arabia to take a wise state decision, as the leaders of Iran did in their time, having purchased the S-300, and as President Erdogan did, purchasing from Russia the latest S-400 Triumph air defense systems, Putin said at the summit in Ankara.
He noted that they will reliably protect any infrastructure of Saudi Arabia.
On September 14, Saudi Aramco refineries in eastern Saudi Arabia were attacked by drones. The responsibility for the attack was claimed by the Hussite Yemeni rebels.
Spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that the topic of an attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia was not addressed during the summit in Ankara.
