Before starting a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Delhi, Cavusoglu was asked how long, in his opinion, Türkiye could resist the pressure to join anti-Russian restrictions.

"We do not need to resist; we make our own decisions as a sovereign state. We do not join any unilateral sanctions, and we support only those introduced with the support of the UN. So, it's not just about Russia; we also don't support sanctions on Iran or other countries. We make our own decisions. Nobody can put pressure on us," Cavusoglu said.
