Turkey will take retaliatory measures against the U.S. if Washington will block the supply of Ankara F-35 fighter, said Minister of foreign Affairs Mevlut Cavusoglu in the interview to television channel si-EN-EN Turk.

the head of the Ministry said that next week will go on a visit to USA, where he will discuss the issue. According to his statement, the cancellation of the sale of the F-35 is unacceptable.

in mid-April, the U.S. assistant Secretary of state Uess Mitchell said that the purchase by Ankara of the Russian anti-aircraft missile systems s-400 can negatively affect production and delivery to Turkey of the F-35. In response, Turkey said that it will not accept the language of sentences on the subject.
