Press Secretary of the Turkish President: We have repeatedly told the United States that we will not integrate the S-400 air defense system with the NATO air defense system
Turkish President's press secretary Ibrahim Kalin commented on Ankara's expectations from the new American administration. According to Kalyn, in recent years, relations between the United States and Turkey have seriously deteriorated. One of the reasons for the deterioration of relations is related to the fact that Washington, according to Ankara, ignores Turkish fears in connection with the activity of the FETÖ organization of Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the United States.
Recall that before Donald Trump came to the White House in Ankara, they expressed a cautious hope that Gulen would be extradited to Turkey so that he could be put on trial there in the case of a coup attempt. But the Trump administration did not hand over to Erdogan from the Trump administration.
After that, Turkey refused to "heed" the US persuasion not to buy the S-400 air defense system from Russia, which led to further complication of bilateral relations.
Ibrahim Kalyn:
According to the press secretary of the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has repeatedly tried to allay American fears that the S-400 will cause the disintegration of NATO's unified air defense system.
Kalyn:
A spokesman for the Turkish head of state said that Ankara expects a constructive agenda from the new US administration and hopes to lift the sanctions that were imposed on Turkey some time ago.
Kalyn also said that Ankara is waiting for understanding from the EU. According to the head of the press service of the Turkish President, Turkey "has been knocking on the doors of the European Union for the longest time, but has not yet received an invitation."
