Daily Sabah:
Turkey expects that disagreements with the United States over production of F-35 fighter jets will be overcome, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar told Reuters, adding that Ankara remains at the center of NATO despite criticism from allies over its counterterrorism operation in Syria.
Akar rejected criticism that Turkey was drifting away from its Western allies.
“We are at the center of NATO, and we remain determined to carry out all of our responsibilities fully. We are going nowhere,” he said.
