QA-39, 31 May 2019, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hami Aksoy, in Response to a Question Regarding reports in some media outlets about Turkey evaluating to postpone the S-400 system

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 31.05.2019

The news recently published in the media that Turkey is considering to postpone its S400 acquisition upon the request of the U.S. does not reflect the truth.

The process of our S400 procurement continues as planned.

On the other hand, our proposal to convene a Working Group with the U.S. authorities, in order to discuss the concerns of the U.S. with regard to the interoperability of the S400 system with NATO and F35 systems, is still valid.

Atatürk
