Our business world should feel the power of the state alongside it at all times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan met his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Sochi, Russia, where the two leaders pledged to further develop bilateral ties.<\/p>\n<p>Putin noted at the time that Russian-Turkish trade doubled in the first five months of the year compared with the same period last year, a surge reflecting Moscow\u2019s growing focus on ties with Ankara amid the bruising Western sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with an economic crisis, Turkey is relying on Russia for trade and tourism. Russian gas covers 45 percent of Turkish energy needs, and Russia\u2019s atomic agency is building Turkey\u2019s first nuclear power plant.<\/p>\n<p>Nebati said Turkey is confident it can balance its ties with Russia and its international relations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are determined to develop our commercial and economic relations with our neighbors in various sectors, especially in tourism, within a framework that is not subject to sanctions,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<p>The head of a metal exporters group said this month that Russian demand for Turkish products had increased, and that Turkish companies had received enquiries from European businesses about supplying Russia via Turkey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/8\/26\/turkey-says-concerns-over-us-sanctions-warning-meaningless\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey\u2019s finance minister says no need for concern over possible US sanctions on firms dealing with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
