ISTANBUL, 20 March, 2021 (TON): On Friday, the Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called the U.S.’s President Biden’s comments about Russia’s President Vlamdrmir Putin “unacceptable” and unfitting of a U.S. President.

U.S. President said “I do” when in a TV interview was asked if he believed Putin was a killer, prompting US-Russia ties to sink to a new low. Putin later responded that “He who said it, did it.”
In reaction to this, Turkish President said, “Mr. Biden’s statements about Mr. Putin are not fitting of a president, and a president coming out and using such remarks against the president of a country like Russia is truly unacceptable, not something that can be stomached.”

He added saying, “In my opinion, Mr. Putin has done what is necessary by giving a very, very smart and elegant answer.”

However, the ties between the NATO allies, Turkey and the U.S. have been stained over multiple issues in recent years. But Turkey and Russia have longed developed strong strategic partnership despite supporting opposite sides in Syrian and Libyan conflicts.
