“I admire such a very active position of our Turkish partners. They showed tremendous strength of spirit, inflexibility, despite the most powerful pressure of the United States of America, ”he stressed.
As Fomin noted, Russia appreciates this position of Turkey, which testifies “about many things”.
According to him, Turkey made the right choice without refusing to buy Russian C-400 systems.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Defense gave an interview to RT on the eve of the VIII Moscow Conference on International Security (MCIS-2019), which will be held April 23-25.
On April 3, the United States called on Turkey to choose between NATO security and the C-400 deal.
The head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Mevlüt авavuşoлуlu, in turn, threatened to buy fighters from other countries if the United States refused to supply the F-35.
