Check Clears - Turkey signals compromise with US over Russian S-400 missiles
2021-02-09
[Aljazeera] The purchase of air defence system has put extra strain on US-Turkey relations, which have also been complicated by the conflict in Syria.

Turkey might be willing to refrain from the full deployment of the Russian air defence system whose purchase led to United States sanctions, according to the country’s defence minister.

The US wants Turkey to decommission the S-400 missiles, which were originally built to target NATO hardware and acquired by Ankara in July 2019. The purchase has put extra strain on US-Turkey relations, which have also been complicated by the conflict in Syria.
