Turkey’s deal to buy Russian S-400 missile defense systems had “nothing to do” with the security of the US, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday after a Pentagon warning.
He was speaking a day after Washington warned Ankara of “grave consequences” should the deal go ahead.
“It is very clear why Turkey has bought this air defense system, under what conditions it has bought them and how it will be used,” Erdogan said in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir.
