  1. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday vowed Turkey would not retaliate against Russia's "emotional" sanctions imposed after the disputed downing of a Russian war plane. Russia has halted the sale of tours to Turkey -- a key tourist destination -- and is set to ban the import of Turkish fruit and vegetables as well as threatening other measures. "(Russia) is our strategic partner, we will continue to provide them with products including food," Erdogan said in an interview with Turkish reporters on board his presidential plane published in newspapers.
