The delivery schedule for Russia’s S-400 missile defense systems to Turkey is continuing as planned, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said on Friday. He dismissed reports that Ankara has been evaluating a delay in response to US concerns, Reuters reports.
On Monday, the broadcaster Haberturk quoted Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar as saying that the delivery of the S-400s may not happen in June, which is when Turkey had previously said the missiles could arrive. However, the minister added the agreement was a done deal.
