This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey Mevlut Cavusoglu, reports UNN.

According to him, Russia "accelerates the process" with the supply of missile systems at the request of Ankara.

"We have completed the process with the S-400. This transaction is completed. And the approach "we impose sanctions if you buy" does not apply to Turkey. Turkey does not accept this, "he said..

At the same time, Cavusoglu said that Turkey is ready to acquire other weapons from NATO.

Recall, on the eve of the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned his Turkish counterpart of the acquisition of Russian missile systems, expressing serious concern about the intentions of Ankara. He allowed the imposition of sanctions against Turkey because of this.

Turkey signed an agreement with Russia on the purchase of Russian S-400 air defense systems in September 2017. The arrangements have caused concern in the West, since Turkey is a member of NATO, and air defense systems can not be integrated into the Alliance's defensive system. In addition, Turkey's intention to acquire Russian S-400s in some Western capitals is seen as an insult to NATO amid growing aggravation of relations with Russia because of its role in wars in eastern Ukraine and in Syria.

Russia claims that its S-400 surface-to-air missile system, a modification of the older S-300PM, has a range of 400 kilometers and is capable of simultaneously tracking up to 80 targets. Such a system Russia deployed at its base in the west of Syria in late 2015, after the Turkish aircraft shot down the Russian on the Turkish-Syrian border.
