Erdogan on IS oil trade claim: Russia slandering Turkey
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Russia had no right to “slander” Turkey with allegations that it had bought oil from Islamic State jihadists in Syria.
“No one has a right to engage in slander against Turkey by saying that Turkey is buying oil from Daesh (IS),” Erdogan says in comments broadcast by Turkish television on a visit to Qatar, after the Russian defense ministry claimed he and his family were involved in the illegal oil trade.
