"The purchase of Russian S-400 defense missiles by Turkey does not mean that Turkey is moving away from the NATO structure," Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told a joint news conference with his Italian counterpart Angelino Alfano.
According to the Turkish Foreign Minister, some member states of the alliance have recently put up serious resistance to Turkey over the issue of buying even the simplest defense systems it needs. "I have to develop my air defense system.
And that means I have to buy defense equipment from another place. I have an urgent need to do so, "said Mevlüt Çavuşo καιlu." Turkey has the right to pursue a multidimensional foreign policy. "Turkey is not drifting, it is in its place."
