“We ourselves make decisions as a sovereign state.

We do not join any unilateral sanctions, we support only those introduced with the support of the UN, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

Cavusoglu stressed that this applies not only to Russia, but also to Iran and other countries.

“We make our own decisions.

No one can put pressure on us,” he concluded.

Earlier, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the EU and the United States began to develop sanctions against Russia in December 2021.

According to Cavusoglu, Ankara takes measures and controls the situation so that US and EU sanctions are not bypassed through Turkey.
