"We’re not willing to artificially create problems for Turkish producers and exporters who do not bear responsibility for what has happened. We’re not willing to create additional problems for our companies, which cooperate with the Turkish side either. But we cannot leave what has happened unanswered," the minister said.
Referring to the future of the Russian-Turkish relations, Lavrov said that Moscow doesn’t avoid relations with Ankara. “Today’s phone conversation with Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu proves it. However, we have no plans to visit Turkey or receive our Turkish counterparts in Russia,” Lavrov said.
