Stockholm, (IINA) - Nobel prizewinner Aziz Sancar condemned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s "madnesses" on Monday, describing it as harmful to both Turkey and Russia, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
Sancar, who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in October for his work in mapping the cells that repair ultraviolet damage to DNA, asked for Allah to "give sense to Putin".
The US-based Turkish chemist made these remarks to an AA reporter in Stockholm as tension between Russia and Turkey continues to rise over the shooting down of a Russian military jet on the Turkey-Syria border on November 24.
"The term of 1880, the Tsarist term, has passed. Turkey is not a ‘sick man’ but Russia is", he said, referring to the phrase used to describe the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. "All his madnesses are harmful to both Russia and Turkey”.
Sancar, who works at the University of North Carolina, was among three scientists awarded the prize for their work on DNA. Sancar’s research was focused on treating cancer.
