Turkey’s Defence Minister Hulusi Akar shares details on S-400 procurement from Russia with the leaders of the political parties in parliament
While many political observers are hoping that the upcoming meeting between Erdogan and Trump will sort out the differences between the two NATO allies, the Turkish defence minister's outreach to the opposition was meant to send a message that the country is united in its bid to secure the S-400 deal with Russia, according to Turkish defence ministry sources.
“While the S-400 deal appears to be a political decision made by the president, it is indeed a state decision. The minister wanted to explain the nature of the S-400 deal to the opposition leaders,” said a defence ministry source. Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar meets the MHP leader Devlet Bahceli, an ally of the government, on S-400 procurement from Russia.
“The same way we continue to introduce our information on the issues with other political leaders, exchanging views on the country’s politics pursued by the state of the Republic of Turkey,” the defence minister added.
