ANKARA - Turkey will never bow to U.S. sanctions over its agreement to purchase Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile defence systems, Vice President Fuat Oktay said on Sunday regarding a deal that has strained ties between the NATO allies.
It has proposed forming a working group with Washington to assess the impact of the S-400s, but says it has not received a response yet. The United States has also offered to sell Turkey its rival Raytheon Co. Patriot defence systems, which Turkey's Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said Ankara was still evaluating.
He said he welcomed talks between Ankara and Washington on the procurement of the Patriot systems and talks between Turkey and the Franco-Italian EUROSAM consortium on its SAMP-T systems.
