MOSCOW, Oct 8 - RIA Novosti. The American newspaper Defense News discussed with one of the high-ranking Turkish officials the specifics of relations between Moscow and Ankara.
According to the interlocutor of the publication, the main "secret" is that under no circumstances is Turkey going to give up on the issue of interaction with Russia and follow the lead of the United States.
As an example, journalists cited the S-400 deal, which took place despite the dissatisfaction of Ankara's NATO partners.
Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced plans to purchase a second regiment of anti-aircraft systems back in August. After talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, it became known that the countries intend to expand cooperation on air defense systems and a number of other areas.
