YEREVAN, DECEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that if testimonies to purchases of oil from the IS by official Ankara are found he will quit the presidential office. “Armenpress” reports that Erdogan said the aforementioned in Paris, in response to Russian President Putin’s statement that Su-24 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces was downed to secure illegal oil deliveries from the IS to Turkey.

Turkey is not so dishonest that it could buy oil from terrorists, Erdogan said, adding that if testimonies to such purchases are found he will quit the presidential office.

"If evidence of this kind is found, let those who find it present it," Erdogan said, TASS reports.

Accusations of purchasing oil from the Islamic State terrorist grouping made against Turkey are immoral, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters on Monday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier noted that Russia has grounds to suspect that the Su-24 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces was downed to secure illegal oil deliveries from the IS to Turkey. He also reminded that terrorists, fighting in Russia, currently appear in Turkey.
