Turkish authorities have started preparing for the submission of a complaint to the World Trade Organization against the introduction of economic sanctions by Russia.
This was reported by the Daily Sabah quoting the Minister of Economy of Turkey, Mustafa Elitaş.
According to him, the complaint is pending to be issued to the WTO. The Turkish government has been collecting evidence of violations by Russia of the rules of the organization.
"We will defend the rights of all those affected (due to sanctions), in the international courts," promised Elitaş.
The Minister also compared the relationship with Russia with the weather forecast, which promises sometimes sun, sometimes rain and clouds.
"Their actions are not consistent with international trade rules," said Elitaş, adding that a special body has been set up to receive complaints from Turkish entrepreneurs working with Russian partners.
