Turkey expects to receive the first batches of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems before the end of the next year, Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu said at a NATO forum in Brussels.
"The first deliveries of the S-400 system to Turkey will take place before the end of 2019," the Turkish foreign minister said.
Cavusoglu highlighted that the purchase of the S-400s from Russia does not mean that Ankara plans to move away from NATO, Anadolu Agency reported.
