Turkey will continue to trade with Iran: Minister

ANKARA - Reuters

Turkey will continue to trade with Iran as much as possible and will not be answerable to anyone else, Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci vowed on May 8, as U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States was withdrawing from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

“From now on we will carry out our trade with Iran within the possible framework until the end. We will not give account to anyone for this,” Zeybekci said in an interview with broadcaster CNN Türk.
