They are currently sanctions, not an embargo.
If someone wants to trade with Turkey or the UAE, they are free to do so. I admit I'm not current on the most recent sanctions list, but as far as I know, both those countries and companies aren't on it.
On the other hand, suppose they are. Why should it be a given that we trade with whatever country? I'm asking this honestly because I've seen that argument thrown around a lot lately. As in: "the EU should buy Russian gas because it's cheap"... Well, no we don't. We can buy it from whoever we like.
