Ankara urges US to supply F-35 jets, Patriot systems ‘without preconditions’
The U.S. should readmit Ankara to a joint F-35 fighter jet program and deliver Patriot missile defense systems to the country “without conditions,” Turkish Presidential Communications Director Fahrettin Altun has said.
Altun penned an op-ed in the U.S. daily Wall Street Journal in response to another opinion piece that suggested that “Turkey should send Ukraine the Russian-made S-400 missile defense systems.”
In his op-ed, headlined, “Turkey Says No Deal on S-400 for Ukraine,” Altın said that while such a deal was “quite unrealistic today, this idea presents an opportunity to discuss the problems Turkey has experienced lately with the West.”
“Turkey, which views European Union membership as a strategic objective and takes pride in its NATO membership, expects to be treated by the West as it deserves. It would take confidence-building measures, not so-called informal proposals, to repair the relationship.”

Good luck, Turiye. The West trust’s you as far as they can throw you. How many generations have your people spent in Germany and you still can’t attain citizenship there?

Last September 18 ethnic Turks were elected to the Bundestag. I’d take German treatment of Turks over Turkish treatment of Kurds any day.
