Kremlin: Turkey is friendly country for Russia

Russia-Turkey interaction potential is huge, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview to Izvestia on Tuesday.
"Turkey is a friendly country for us, it’s our very important partner, both in political affairs from the standpoint of international politics and in terms of trade and economic cooperation. We know that Turkey hasn’t joined the illegal anti-Russian sanctions. Turkey is pursuing what is effectively a sovereign, independent foreign policy," the spokesman went on to say.
According to him, this allows the two countries to continue interaction, "based on the principles of mutual respect for each other's interests and mutual benefit."
"The potential is huge, it’s far from being fully tapped yet," Peskov noted.
