Turkey FM says told Pompeo threats and sanctions won’t work
SINGAPORE, Aug 3, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut
Cavusoglu on Friday said he told US counterpart Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo that threats and sanctions will not work after Washington targeted
Turkish ministers over the detention of an American pastor.
“We have said from the start that the other side’s threatening language
and sanctions will not get any result. We repeated this today,” Cavusoglu
told reporters in Singapore after their meeting.
