Turkey slams calls for not using Russian S-400 air defense systems as unacceptable

 

--

 Turkey considers other countries’ calls against using S-400 surface-to-air missile systems purchased from Russia as unacceptable, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during his visit to Athens on Monday.

"The S-400 will be 100% under our control. We sent our technical specialists [to Russia] and there will be no Russian military experts in Turkey. In this regard, we view the demands by other countries ‘for not using’ [S-400s] as inadmissible," the TV Channel TRT quoted the Turkish foreign minister as saying.
