Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu has called “mentally retarded” people calling for the return of S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to Russia because of the situation in Ukraine. His words are transmitted by the Haberler portal, reports TASS.
“When the war between Russia and Ukraine started, they use wonderful slogans: “Let’s return the S-400”. Forgive me, but they are mentally retarded,” said the head of the Turkish Ministry of Internal Affairs. He called it “complete idiocy” to put forward proposals to return protection systems, “having seen the situation in Ukraine.”
In February, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the supply of S-400 “Triumph” the country’s internal affair and said that they do not bear negative attitude towards NATO. The head of state stressed that the agreement on the acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems by Ankara is an important step in terms of developing cooperation between Turkey and Russia.
