Turkish Defence Minister makes important statement over F - 35 fighter jets and S 400 Missile system purchases

Turkey says talks with the US on F-35 fighter jets are scheduled in coming days while efforts are also being made to resolve the purchase of S-400 issue.

In a statement, Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said purchasing of Russian S-400 air defence systems was a necessity and not a choice, since Ankara could not buy air defence systems from any NATO ally on satisfactory terms.
