Russian President put forward seven conditions to his Turkish counterpart, Turkish newspaper Sözçü reported quoting the Kremlin.

1. Turkey should recognize Assad

Turkey had started to carry out a wrong policy towards Syria. According to Turkey’s calculations, Assad would go, but they were wrong. Russia supports Assad and from now Turkey has to recognize it.

2. Turkey should be constructive on Karabakh issue

Karabakh is important for us. For Turkey this issue is of great importance because of Azerbaijan. Opposing us, you complicate the solution of this issue even more.

3. Turkey should leave Crimea and Caucasus

Turkey supports anti-Russian activities in the Crimea and in some parts of the Caucasus. Russia is closely monitoring this. You are wrong. This worsens rather than improves  relationship.

4. Turkey should keep hands off from 4 countries

Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are the countries that are members of our union. We see that your agents try to incite enmity towards us among people of these countries. Stop it. We will not allow this.

5. Kurdish PYD movement of Syria is important for Russia

The main threat is ISIS and other similar terrorist organizations in Syria, Turkey is fighting against Kurds. PYD is important for us. Undertaking something, you have to remember the fact, otherwise undesirable events can occur in the region.

6. Turkey should close borders for terrorists

From now and on, stop the supply of arms and ammunition to Syria. Your borders are open for representatives of terrorist organizations which act against the interests of Russia. Close your borders and prevent the movement of terrorists.

7. Turkish ministers should be careful in their statements

Statements of some ministers and officials are worrying. And statements of some ministers which were made after the crash of the Russian plane are simply unforgettable. Be more attentive choosing words.
