Ердоган плаши Путин за "ЧРД". Спира да купува руски газ и отменя поръчката за АЕЦ на "Росатом" заради ударите в Сирия
Турският президент Реджеп Тайип Ердоган заплаши Кремъл, че Турция може да възложи строежа на първата си ядрена електроцентрала на друга държава и да спре да купува природен газ от Русия, ако бомбардировките в Сирия продължат. Ердоган предупреди, че може да отмени поръчката за изграждането на четирите 1200 мегаватови реактори на "Мерсин Аккую" от "Росатом".
"Ако те не построят ядрената централа "Мерсин Аккую", някой друг ще дойде да я построи. Вече са инвестирали 3 млрд. в нея, така че трябва да внимават", каза президентът. "Що се отнася до вноса на природен газ, ние сме най-големият им потребител. Загубата на Турция би била сериозен проблем за Русия. При нужда можем да получим газ от много различни места. Така че Русия трябва да действа внимателно.", цитиран е турският президент в "Дейли сабах" в статията на SERDAR KARAGÖZ.
"Не можем да приемем сегашната ситуация. Обясненията на Москва не са убедителни!", отсече Реджеп Ердоган, посочвайки, че е "силно разстроен" от случилото се. Лидерът на Турция не планира да обсъжда въпроса с президента на Русия Владимир Путин.

Russia close to losing Turkey's friendship
President Erdoğan said repeated Russian infringements of Turkey's airspace in the past few days were incompatible with the close links the two countries have and added that the Russian administration was close to losing Turkey as a friend.
He noted that the NATO Council had held an emergency session and released a tough statement condemning Russian actions. "It said violating Turkish airspace meant violating NATO airspace. I must admit that Russian statements about these violations cannot be deemed as serious. Russia perpetrating such acts with a neighboring country with which it has a high-level cooperation council is unbecoming."
He said he had met with Russian President Vladimir Putin late last month and also spoke to him after Russia began its air strikes in Syria. "Violations of our airspace after all that do not correspond to serious statesmanship. We are definitely upset. It should not have happened."
When asked if he would be talking to Putin to prevent the violations from deteriorating into clashes, Erdoğan said: "I don't believe Russia would do such a thing. NATO's emergency meeting showed how seriously they took the matter." He said the violations occurred after he talked with Putin, and he did not believe it meaningful to call Putin again under such circumstances.
When asked about the close commercial ties between the two countries, Erdoğan argued that trade ties were a matter that both sides needed to be sensitive about. "If Russia doesn't build the Mersin Akkuyu Nuclear Plant, someone else will. They have already invested $3 billion there. So, it is Russia that needs to be careful there. On the issue of our natural gas imports, we are their top natural gas customer. Losing Turkey will be a major loss for Russia. If necessary, Turkey can get the gas from elsewhere. So, Russia needs to assess these issues carefully. There is a high-level cooperation council mechanism between the two countries. The council's end would be wrong for Russia too."
He said Turkey had no desire to lose what it had built with Russia over the years, said Erdoğan, adding: "That is why we are upset about Russia taking steps to jeopardize them. We cannot act emotionally."
