Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu dismissed Russian allegations that Turkey was buying oil from Islamic State as "Soviet-style propaganda" on Thursday and said the NATO member was doing all it could to secure its border with Syria.
Russia's defense ministry said on Wednesday it had proof that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and his family were benefiting from the illegal smuggling of oil from Islamic State-held territory in Syria and Iraq.
"In the Cold War period there was a Soviet propaganda machine.
Every day it created different lies.
Firstly they would believe them and then expect the world to believe them.
These were remembered as Pravda lies and nonsense," Davutoglu said.
