You would think that since President Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan are such good friends, if the US asked Turkey to stop dealing with Iran in violation of US and EU (but apparently not UN) sanctions, Turkey would pretend it's in the EU and stop dealing with Iran, right? Well, it goes without saying that's not what's happening. Turkey's state-run Halkbank is financing Indian purchases of oil from Iran. The apparent reason they are continuing to do so is that the Obama administration has not asked them to stop.
