“Fire” against Washington by Ali Babacan, who, commenting on the US’s refusal to include Turkey in the F-35 program, characteristically asked “where are the F-35 fighter jets for which we are partners, for which we paid billion dollars?”
As SKAI reported, the chairman of the Turkish DEVA party continued to lash out against the US: “They have ruined our reputation in the world. We were one of the 4 partners who possessed the technology [σ.σ: για τα F-35]. We spent billions of dollars during our tenure. They couldn’t bring in the planes we took ownership of.”
He then pointed to the involvement in the sale of the F-16s: “The US Congress is saying, ‘I’ll give you F-16s, but you’re not going to fly them into the Aegean, you’re not going to fly them into areas that are in dispute with the Greeks.’ is this sovereignty? Is this being an independent country? Didn’t we build an F-16 factory in Turkey? That country produced F-16 fighter jets in the 1990s. Today they are asking America for F-16s. And America wants a promise that they will not they will throw them into the Aegean before he gives them”.
