Erdogan refused to change the Russian S-400 air defense system to the American Patriot air defense system

Turkey will not abandon the Russian anti-aircraft systems C-400 even if the United States sells it the Patriot system. Washington’s demands to abandon the Russian anti-aircraft system violate the country's sovereign rights. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made such a statement to reporters after returning from Washington.

In a statement, the Turkish leader emphasized that he considered categorically incorrect the United States demand to completely abandon the Russian S-400 air defense system. He said that such claims violate the sovereignty of Turkey and Ankara is not going to abandon the S-400 in favor of the American Patriot air defense systems.

We told the United States that if they offer Patriot on suitable terms, we will buy it. But we consider categorically incorrect the proposal to completely abandon C-400. There is no question of abandoning the C-400 in favor of the Patriot. It is important for us that in our security system there is C-400. We will buy both C-400 and Patriot, as we diversify our defense system. Our armed forces have such a strategy

- he said.

Commenting on his visit to Washington, Erdogan said that "in general, he was positive," without disclosing details of the meeting with Donald Trump. According to him, further dialogue is needed to overcome the differences.

We want to come to a positive result on (deliveries of American fighters) F-35. But this time I saw that Trump has a much more positive and constructive approach to this topic.

- he added.

Earlier it was reported that Donald Trump allegedly promised Erdogan a trade deal for 100 billion dollars and "circumvention" of the sanctions imposed in response to the fact that Ankara will abandon the Russian S-400 air defense system. This topic was to be discussed during the meeting between Trump and Erdogan during the latter’s visit to Washington. However, judging by the statement of the Turkish leader, the parties failed to come to an agreement on this issue.

Turkey will not refuse Russian anti-aircraft systems C-400
They have every right to it!)))

Trump minus again? ???

This man Erdogan is a tough nut

He visited Turkish bazaars; they know how to bargain to the last, then the “super discount” and voila, sold. Tricky beasts

[Alexander Petrov1]

East is a delicate matter...

[maxim947]

The Americans, in their insistence on pressure on countries acquiring our facilities, only once again confirm the myth inspired by them about the invisibility of their fifth-generation aircraft.

[Alexander Petrov1]

As our brothers Serbs said when he was shot down in 1999 at the expense of the F-117 stealth, by the way, which because of them and the United States was removed from service - "Sorry, we did not know that he did not see" ...

[maxim947]

Good joke))

Well, duck Serbs are smart and freedom-loving people, like Russia.

If you do not go to the eastern bazaar, then the eastern bazaar will come to you / the modern version of the old proverb /.

Yeah, Trump will allow the Turks to buy Su57E and f35 now. ...

Erdogan is sane! "Affectionate heifers suck two queens ..." This only positively affects the development of Turkey!

"Affectionate heifers of two queens suck ..."

Although, you must admit, abandoning the $ 100 billion deal is not easy. But, it is likely that this time the reputation of the n-owls in the BV played a cruel joke with them. Or maybe the deal itself was not very. Type: abandon the S-400 and you can buy Gulen for $ 100 billion

Quote: Polite Elk

you can buy Gulen for $ 100 billion

That's it: the price for Gulen did not agree

[den3080]

What's the deal?
Like, you refuse Russian S-400s, send them back to Russians, and in return get the right to buy from us the same number of Patriots for 100 billion. And for this we will not impose sanctions against you.
So?

[parkello]

as I knew, he went there for the planes ... I don’t like this goose (sx \ f Passport) PS: do not sell planes to him .. let him look at f-35. Enough with him and the S-400.

When they are burned in milk then they blow it into the water. Not so long ago, with American interest, Edward was nearly shortened by the head, and he estimates it much more than $ 100 billion. He understood that mattresses cannot be trusted.

When Erdogan met with Trump, a large model of a Boeing passenger plane was seen in the oval office. They say that this model was not there before, that is, you can guess, in the framework of the 100 mln trade, the purchase of these aircraft from Turkey. most likely will increase the purchase of Turkish steel, boron, textiles, etc.

As a result of the last two air crashes, Boeing’s reputation has been greatly tarnished. Of course they can offer, but ...

Quote: Oquzyurd

And the United States is likely to increase the purchase of Turkish steel, boron, textiles, etc.

Mattresses are now raising their steelworkers (distributors) by increasing duties on imported steel. For other positions it is possible, but again, one must keep in mind the fact that an agreement has been reached with the Americans, who have recently demonstrated complete lack of agreement and almost the next day can refuse all agreements. The essence of the negotiations has not been fully disclosed, but Erdogan said that progress has not been achieved, although there is something to continue talking about. In short, we exchanged portfolios of mutual demands and concessions, and now analysts consider the pros and cons that will be obtained at the exit, after which there will be another meeting. Routine in a word.

We are waiting for others who want to conclude deals for 100 lard through the purchase of S-400. It seems to me that psheks will not resist the temptation.

What a bastard! And these "interfere with the sale of advanced weapons", as recently one of the tripods joked.
He has Israel, Greece and other Kurds at his side - why the hell is Patriot ...

It’s a magical amount))) Yesterday I read that Putin offered 100 yards of greenery at a glance, today - that Trump offered 100 yards of the same greenery to Erdogadik
Is this one tax-tagged check in circles?

The cycle of yards in nature ...

Perhaps the Turks were fed up with the fact that their country was a bargaining chip for the British, and then the Americans, during the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Or the latter found other forces to put pressure on Russia, for example, modern Ukraine or Poland. In any case, America is far away, and it is more profitable to trade with the Turks with Russia. And do not fight with her for the sake of any Lords or cowboys. The main thing is that this should be a trend, and not a whim of one person.

100 billion trade it doesn’t mean at all that the states will simply give this money to Turkey. There may be a tricky scheme for this amount for refusing 400-hundredths.
It was possible to take a lease for half a year from Russia, get dibs, and then supposedly return them back.

[Avior]

. 100 billion trade it doesn’t mean at all that the states will simply give this money to Turkey.

Actually, the point is that Turkey will pay this money to the States.

[Lena Petrova]

Turkey has an entire annual military budget of 19 billion. How can she pay - 100?

[Avior]

This is to Trump, as I understand it, a question.
I think this is not about military purchases, but about trade deals.

[mammadov teymur]

Turkey has an entire annual military budget of 19 billion. Lena Khanum nothing mixed up

[Lena Petrova]

No, for 18 years - 19 mln. For 2019, maybe a little more, but this is the entire military budget. On the purchase of the actual weapons, - much less.

[steelmaker]

Erdogan made the right move. Putin can sleep peacefully!

[Prisoner]

A Turk is a peasant, but not du-cancer. I didn’t forgive you to see the bustle of pins when trying to coup.

[Polymer]

Erdogan did not take the bait! Is it possible for the Americans to turn on Plan B again? For example, to declare the absence of democracy in Turkey ... True, to begin with it will have to be pushed out of NATO - and this is fraught. In a difficult position, however, Erdogan puts Trump.
