Turkish Minister to the US Secretary of State: The S-400 issue is closed, the complexes are delivered and deployed in Turkey

34

During the summit of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken held talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. As it turns out, the conversation turned, among other things, about the anti-Turkish sanctions that the United States imposed on Ankara for the acquisition of the S-400 air defense system from Russia.

Blinken urged Cavushloglu to abandon the use of Russian air defense systems on Turkish territory. This, according to the head of the US Department of State, will serve as "an excellent reason to lift the sanctions."



In a conversation with his American counterpart, Mevlut Cavusoglu, in response, he called on Blinken to extradite Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the United States, to Turkey, whom Ankara accuses of preparing a coup d'etat plan in Turkey (talking about the events of 2016). Anthony Blinken reportedly noted that "such issues cannot be considered within its competence" and added that "the United States has suspicions that Ankara is persecuting Gulen for political reasons."



Having received such an answer from Blinken, Cavusoglu noted that "it is not in his competence to talk about military equipment that is already being used by the Turkish armed forces."

Turkish Foreign Minister:

The issue with the S-400 is closed. These complexes have long been delivered and deployed.

The Turkish minister confirmed this answer to Anthony Blinken in the comments to TV journalists. According to Cavusoglu, he said in a conversation with Blinken that "Turkey has never opposed the purchase of American air defense systems, but Washington also did not approve of the supply for some reason."

Cavusoglu:

If not supplied by the United States, we bought the air defense system from Russia. We need to defend our air borders.

        In fact, neither Romania nor Yugoslavia ever lay under Brezhnev, or more precisely, under the USSR, Ceausescu and Tito had their own visions of the development of socialism, in short - both ours and yours, full-fledged economic cooperation with damned (in our opinion) capitalists and with CMEA

          Thank you, you said it right ..! And then there are some direct screaming about Soviet totaliramism, that the USSR imposed everything and everyone. Well, it was, but how much good we have done to these countries ..! And China? Under Stalin, they were given so much there, in their entire history there was no such thing .. Here, most likely, it sounds like "Russia is a generous soul" there is such chocolate, but it is owned by the West ..
          The most annoying thing is that there is no gratitude and just respect (China really remembers this and sings Russian songs, but the rest only demand again)

        And what is bad for the Sultan in the alliance ???
        So far, conversations, conversations ... there are also costs, but they will probably be neutralized by a quiet, minke whales public loss is not needed !!! They will find a compromise solution.

            E gentlemen hi , on the contrary, the EU is trying to use Turkey as a shield, while Nata is modestly standing on the sidelines. If the sultan gives a hint about leaving Nata, he will be “ground into powder” in a week: he keeps the straits

            The Sultan will not allow restrictions on his "freedom of action", and the alliance aka the United States is striving for this. And the Sultan has an argument: he holds the straits ... and he will bargain

      This is not the case for administrations.
      The point is in the complexes and their capabilities. And also in the F35.
      The change of administration does not lead to the fact that American planes, in fact, may turn out to be the most common publicized rubbish.

        "Penguin" is interesting as an experiment, the search for new forms ... even more interesting, what was planned accompanying!
        At the moment, the situation with the "invisibility" is not ice, but the accompanying one is not double ice!
        They will continue, correct the shortcomings, implement the accompanying ... it is not clear.
        The Yankees have a problem with the Sultan, it's not worth a damn if we discard the fact that they personally don't like him and want a controlled leader there ...
        They will probably look for a compromise, but quietly ... the Yankees do not like to simply retreat, without noticeable gain in any situation.
        Let's see, to be continued.
