Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Nov. 16 that he respects Russia's statement that Russian missiles had not hit Polish territory, adding that he believes Moscow had "nothing to do with it."
"Russia saying this has nothing to do with them and (U.S. President Joe) Biden saying these missiles are not Russian-made show that this has nothing to do with Russia," Erdoğan said at a news conference during the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.
He also said that pointing fingers at Russia after finding out that the missile is not Russian-made will further escalate tensions.
Erdogan said the situation needs to be investigated and that he will speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin when he returns to Turkey.
