Turkey will not transfer data on the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system to other countries, all information received about the air defense system will be kept secret. This was stated by the head of the secretariat of the defense industry of the republic Ismail Demir.
Russia expressed concern about the safety of data on the S-400 system, and Turkey promised her to protect this data
– Demir said.
Thus, Turkey reacted to the statement of the American Senator John Thune, proposed to resolve the contradictions between the United States and Turkey by purchasing Russian complexes from Ankara. Thune amended the defense budget accordingly.
Earlier, spokesman for the ruling Turkish party, Omer Celik stressed, that for the resale of the S-400 to other countries, including the US, there is no legal basis. In its turn, FSMTC official representative Maria Vorobyova noted, that Turkey could not transfer the S-400 air defense system to the USA without the consent of Russia, this is reflected in the purchase agreement.
Recall, that Russia began supplying S-400 air defense systems to Turkey in July last year. Ankara's acquisition of the Russian anti-aircraft system has displeased Washington, who demanded that Turkey abandon it. However, the leadership of the republic said, what initially acquired the system to protect the country and is not going to abandon it.
