Referring to the country's relations with Iran and Russia, Erdogan said in a statement on Saturday, November 21, that "we are trying to use long-term and close allied relations with the United States to resolve all regional and global issues. In this way, we will not ignore our deep-rooted relations with countries such as Iran and Russia. We have very deep relations with the Islamic world and the Turkish world, which have sometimes continued in the same direction and sometimes in parallel. We are trying to establish cooperation with all different countries in different regions."

"By no means we cannot accept that the country turns into a toy for the lobbies and terrorist groups that have set their sights on enmity with Turkey," Erdogan was quoted as saying by Milliyet daily.

"We think that we do not have a problem with any country or organization that we cannot resolve through negotiation and dialogue. "Whoever takes one step towards us, we will take four or five steps towards him," Erdogan further said in his remarks.
