"With the neutralization of the government coup attempt the Turkish political leadership has gained more strength and legitimacy. Relations with Russia will be normalized and strengthened in this context," he said.
Kalin mentioned "certain forces" outside Turkey that were on the plotters’ side.
"The July 15 coup attempt received support from certain forces, worried by Turkey’s wish to pursue a foreign policy that matches its own interests and its status of a regional power. The courage, solidarity and unity of our people let us prevent the damage FETO terrorists had tried to cause to our democracy and stability," Kalin said. "Those plotters against Turkey have got what they deserve."
