No Delays in Delivery of S-400s from Russia: Turkey

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - The delivery schedule for Russia's S-400 missile defense systems to Turkey is continuing as planned, Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hami Aksoy said Friday, dismissing reports of delay.

The US and Turkey have been at odds over Ankara's decision to purchase the S-400s, which Washington says are not compatible with NATO systems and poses a threat to the F-35 stealth fighter jets. Ankara has proposed to form a working group to assess the US concerns, but has not received a response yet.

On Monday, broadcaster Haberturk quoted Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar as saying that the delivery of the S-400s may not happen in June, when Turkey previously said the missiles were due to arrive, but added the agreement was a done deal, Reuters reported.

"Reports in some media outlets about Turkey evaluating delaying the S-400 procurement upon the request of the United States do not reflect the truth," Aksoy said in a statement, adding that Ankara's offer for a joint working group with Washington was still valid.
