"In regard to the coalition formed in Saudi Arabia… we do not believe this coalition will have some kind of anti-Russian character. In addition to the aforementioned countries, it will include Turkey, which we also don't consider to be a hostile state. It carried out a hostile act against our aircraft, but claiming that we consider Turkey a hostile state would be incorrect," Putin told reporters.
"I hope the created alliance will act in common interests, and that we will develop a common approach and rules, and establish effective joint action and effective instruments," the president added.
