Its small change €146 million to Turkey. Should have the testicles to enter full sanctions against them.

It might be small change, but it's another nail in their plummeting economy.... History has taught us that Dictators like Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ,will finish up in the dustbin of History like other Despots that preceded him.
