Turkey said Monday it would not respect sanctions on oil imports from Iran after US President Donald Trump announced Washington would start ending waivers to the Islamic Republic's oil customers.
"We do not accept unilateral sanctions and impositions on the issue of how we will establish relations with our neighbours," Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was quoted as saying by the state-run Anadolu news agency.
Cavusoglu warned that the US move to end exemptions "will not serve regional peace and stability."
