Erdogan: No step Back From S-400 Deal With Russia
Freepressjournal
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country would not step back from an S-400 missile deal with Russia - again defying US threats.
Last week, a top Pentagon official said the consequences would be "devastating" for Turkey's joint F-35 fighter programme and its cooperation with NATO if the country went ahead with plans to buy the Russian anti-aircraft weapon system.
"There is an agreement. We have determination. It is out of the question to take a step back from it," Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul on Tuesday.
He also said an offer from the United States to sell Patriot missiles to Turkey was not as good as the Russian offer, Al Jazeera reports.
