STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 3, ARTSAKHPRESS: “Russia remains one of Turkey’s main partners. However, our relations with Russia are not an alternative to ties with other allies, but, on the contrary, they supplement [each other]”, Erdogan noted.

The Turkish president pointed out that Russia is an important player on the global political stage. “The summit is going to focus on relations [of NATO members] with Russia and China. We support productive cooperation with China, which we also consider to be a rising power. Russia is one of the main players in our region and on the global stage”, he added.
