President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would not “turn back” on a deal with Moscow to buy Russian S-400 missile defence systems in comments published on Saturday, New Straits Times Online reported.
Turkey’s push to buy the systems has raised questions among NATO allies over their compatibility with alliance equipment as well as concerns over the burgeoning relationship between Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We agreed a deal with Russia on the S-400, so for us to turn back from the deal is out of the question. This is a done deal,” Erdogan said, quoted by CNN Turk broadcaster.
