Erdogan reminded the US that Turkey is "not a tribal state"

“The United States doesn't know who they are dealing with.

You said to send the S-400 back to Russia.

But we are not a tribal state, we are Turkey, ”the Turkish president said at the rally, quoted by TASS.

Erdogan suggested that the United States "not be late and introduce" sanctions against Ankara, whatever they may be.

He recalled that Turkey "paid money for the F-35, but the United States never delivered it."

Earlier, the State Department said that the United States strongly condemns the tests in Turkey of the S-400 systems acquired from Russia.

Turkey has responded to accusations by NATO allies of purchasing systems.
