Turkey vows ‘response’ if US halts weapons sales
[PRESSTV] Ottoman Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has warned that his country will retaliate against the United States if Washington halts the sale of certain weapons to Ankara.

Cavusoglu said in an interview with broadcaster CNN Turk on Sunday that a proposal by US politicians to temporarily stop weapons sales ‐ including the sale of F-35 jets ‐ to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 was wrong, illogical, and not fitting of the alliance between the two NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
 allies.

"Next week I will go on a visit to the United States. It’s about the fact that the cancellation of the sale of the F-35 is not acceptable, and if it (the cancellation) happens, then they (the Americans) will receive an appropriate response from Turkey," Cavusoglu said.

Lawmakers in the US House of Representatives on Thursday introduced a resolution aimed at blocking the transfer of 116 Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to Turkey and preventing Ankara from receiving intellectual property or technical data required for the maintenance of the warplanes.
