Russian Ministry of Economic Development explains preservation of embargo on Turkish goods

The Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia, Alexei Likhachev, during a meeting with the head of the Ministry of Economy of Turkey, Nihat Zeybekchi, in Shanghai explained the reasons for which Moscow is in no hurry to remove the sanctions against the Turkish goods.

As Likhachev stressed, Russia fears primarily that through Turkey the re-export of the European goods will be implemented due to the lifting of embargo. ‘’It is very difficult to control this,’’ the deputy minister said.
