Erdogan also did not confirm the information that Turkey gets oil from terrorists "Islamic state". He announced that these complaints require evidence. "Claims that Turkey buys oil from Islamic state. It is well known, where we buy energy. Most of all from Russia. After that, from Iran, Azerbaijan, Northern Iraq. Let him justify that we buy from the "is". Those who accuse us in buying oil from Islamic state, let them prove it. If you are looking for a source of funding for ISIL, 1st, where to look, is towards the Assad regime and those who support it," said the Turkish head of the country.
