EghtesadOnline: Turkey is trying to convince the United States to allow refiner Tupras , its biggest oil importer, to continue buying crude oil from Iran free of sanctions, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said on Friday.

EghtesadOnline: Turkey’s biggest oil importer Tupras has cut back purchases of Iranian crude since May, when the United States said it would reimpose sanctions on Tehran, and analysts say Tupras is likely to stick to lower volumes in coming months.
