(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) ANKARA, Nov 6 (KUNA) -- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said U.S. sanctions on Iran contradict with the international law and diplomacy.
"We don't want to live in an imperialist world. We do not find the sanctions right. Because our opinion is that these sanctions aim at destroying the world's balance," said Erdogan during a ruling party meeting.
US President Donald Trump on Monday re-imposed sanctions targeting Iran's energy and financial sectors along with its shipping industry.
Meanwhile, Erdogan lashed out at the U.S. patrols which began in northeastern Syria on Monday.
"It is impossible that we accept these patrols. Furthermore, such a situation would lead to serious negativity along the borders," the Turkish president said. (end) rs.mt
