The relations between Russia and Turkey entered into a really positive stage. I am sure that steps we both take will widen our cooperation.
Recep Tayyip ErdoganWhen the U.S. asks for the extradition of a terrorist, if Turkey doesn't have that individual on the terror list, what do we say, what do we respond? Now, the individual might not be on your terror list or terrorist list. But if he is on my list, and if we have an agreement on the extradition of criminals, if I make the request, then, well, you should extradite that person. And there has been numerous examples of that mechanism working with many other nations as well, not just the U.S.
Recep Tayyip ErdoganIf an individual is a terrorist, then you should not be promoting those people and putting them under a good light, if you will, and promoting to the young generation to come. That will only be spoiling the young generation.
Recep Tayyip ErdoganIf we look at history, we will see that regimes which persecute [their people] do not remain standing.
