“He doesn’t wag his tail”: Putin, in response to a question about Lukashenko, began talking about Erdogan
Russian President Vladimir Putin did not characterize President Alexander Lukashenko as a political partner. The journalist asked him a question about comfortable and uncomfortable partners, naming in particular the President of Belarus. Putin chose to characterize his Turkish counterpart Recep Erdogan.
He announced this today at a big press conference, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We often have different views on certain issues with President Erdogan. Maybe sometimes even opposing views. But this is a man who keeps his word. Man. He doesn’t wag his tail, if he thinks it’s beneficial for his country, he goes all the way. This is an element of predictability, this is very important in order to understand who you are dealing with,” Putin said.
He also spoke positively about China's leadership.
