Lavrov: Russia praises Turkey’s stance on S-400

Moscow highly values Ankara’s position on developing military-technical cooperation with Russia and its intent to use the first regiment of S-400 ‘Triumf’ air defense systems to ensure its defense capability, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference following talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu on Wednesday.

"We highly appreciated Turkey’s principled position on developing military and technical cooperation, including the intent of our Turkish friends to use the first regiment of S-400 ‘Triumf’ surface-to-air missile systems for ensuring the country’s defense capability," Russia’s top diplomat said.
