Successful Turkish-Russian Cooperation Triggers Envy In Some Political Circles - Ankara

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th August, 2018) The successful cooperation between Turkey and Russia is a source of envy in some political circles, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday.

"We are making an active effort to report to our leadership on the work that has been done. Regular meetings of the presidents are held. And as the presidents said during the meeting in Johannesburg � at the BRICS summit � indeed, this successful cooperation sometimes causes envy in some circles," Cavusoglu said after his meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Cavusoglu added that both sides were interested in developing cooperation on regional issues and the international agenda.

Moscow and Ankara are working together to settle the Syrian crisis. Both countries serve as guarantors of the ceasefire in the middle Eastern state alongside Iran.

On July 13, Deputy Chairman of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Mehdi Eker told Sputnik that the TurkStream gas pipeline and Turkey's first nuclear plant in Akkuyu were the most important joint energy infrastructure projects.
