Defense Min Akar Open to Limited S-400 Use

TURKEY
  • Defense Min Akar reiterates Turkey is open to 'limited use' of S-400s to solve the issue "similar to use of S-300s in Crete" - referring to Greece's possession and limited use of Russian S-300 missile system.
  • "The most sensitive issue in our relations with the U.S. is the country's support to the YPG, the PKK's arm in Syria,"
  • "We can find a solution for the S-400s in our negotiations with the U.S. but we expect them to see the facts about the YPG. If we cannot find a solution, we cannot go anywhere in relations with the U.S. This is a fact. It is unthinkable for American intelligence not to see the relationship between YPG and PKK"
