Turkey's Talks with Russia on S-400 Air Missile System Reached a "Final Stage"

Pravda

Turkey's talks with Russia about the purchase of the S-400 air missile defense system have reached a "final stage", Turkish Defense Minister Fikri Isik said on Friday.

"Work on the S-400 has reached a final point. But the final stage does not mean 'let's sign a deal tomorrow morning'", Fikri Isik said.

Isik also told a news conference that NATO countries have not presented a "financially effective" offer on an alternative defense system. NATO member Turkey in 2015 canceled a $3.4 billion tender for a long-range missile defense system that had been provisionally awarded to China, RT reports.

"It is clear that Turkey needs a missile defense system but NATO member countries have not presented on offer which is financially effective," Isik told a news conference.
