TEHRAN (Iran News) – Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Thursday that the Russian S-400 air defense system was compatible with NATO, which needed to set up a working group to study it.
“The claim is that the S400 and F-35s are incompatible. That’s the claim. Here is our proposal, let’s have a working group and NATO can chair this and let’s let experts make the assessment and come back to us,” he said.
“We believe the Russian S-400 and F-35 are compatible,” Cavusoglu said during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Reuters reported.
“Russian S-400 does not pose any threats to the NATO system or to NATO allies,” he added.
“The training of the personnel for the Russian made S-400 systems, as well as the deployment of the systems, are going as it has been planned. They will become operational in April or May,” Hulusi Akar, the Turkish official as a member of NATO, said as quoted by Turkiye news outlets, Sputnik reported.
