Turkey is 'taking into account' NATO concerns over its Russian missile deal, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu speaks during a press conference in Ankara, Turkey on April 19, 2019.
"Our allies and NATO must also understand this very well. We need our air defence system urgently," he said. The deal for Russian S-400 missiles riled Washington, prompting US officials to suspend Turkey's participation in the US-made F-35 jet programme and warn of sanctions against its NATO ally. Acting US Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan told reporters on Thursday: "We're closer" to a final decision on the S-400s after a meeting with his Turkish counterpart. "It's like: 'OK, where are we stuck? How do we get unstuck?" he said of the talks, adding he was optimistic.
