Shares
Turkey has reiterated that it will not reverse its purchase of Russian made S-400 missile defence systems and will take reciprocal steps despite the US sanctions.
Talking to media in Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu termed the US sanctions illegal and an attack on the sovereignty of Turkey.
Meanwhile, the United States says the S-400s pose a threat to its F-35 fighter jets and to NATO’s broader defence systems while Turkey rejects this and says S-400s will not be integrated into NATO.
