Erdogan vows not to cancel S-400 deal with Russia

Turkey will not cancel the contract for purchasing Russia's air defense systems S-400 even despite the risk of sanctions that may be imposed by the United States, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

"You’ve said nothing to Greece (in connection with the purchase of S-300 systems), but you said that you will not let Turkey acquire S-400. You claimed that the contact with Russia was a mistake. You also said that you might introduce sanctions," Haber Turk TV quotes Erdogan as saying.

"We are not going to be accountable to you. We will proceed along the right way without any concessions for the sake of achieving our own goals," Erdogan concluded.
