ANKARA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th March, 2019) Ankara purchases Russia's S-400 Triumph (NATO reporting name SA-21 Growler) anti-aircraft missile systems for its own needs and there will be no reselling, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday.

"We have signed an agreement with Russia, and third countries are not our concern. We are acquiring them for our own needs, we need air defense systems. Russia can sell S-400s to third countries, why should I oppose a product that I buy for myself? There is an important point � some parts are produced in Turkey," Cavusoglu said after his talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
