After Vladimir Putin`s accusations, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Turkey and the Islamic State have business ties and that they have evidence that Ankara buys oil from the Caliphate.

Moscow claims that Recep Tayyip Erdogan, his family and entourage are involved in the deal. Russian Defense Ministry officials say the oil from Syria and Iraq is carried to the Turkish border via three different routes in trucks and that the Russian side can publicize relevant evidence . Turkish President categorically denied the accusations and said that if Russia proved these allegations, he would leave his office.
