Türkiye is actively developing economic and trade relations with Russia, despite anti-Russian sanctions.
Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş expressed the opinion that these sanctions are a serious obstacle to the development of bilateral relations.
Kurtulmuş, at a meeting with the Chairperson of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation Valentina Matviyenko, stated that Turkey does not support Western sanctions against Russia, RIA Novosti writes.
He stressed that restrictions prevent entrepreneurs from developing economic relations.
However, trade and economic cooperation between Russia and Turkey continues to develop.
He stressed that Türkiye plans to achieve trade turnover of 100 billion dollars per year.
This is an ambitious goal that implies active cooperation between the two countries.
