| 2017-04-30 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and Russia have reached an agreement in principle on the delivery of Russian-made S-400 long-range surface-to-air missile systems to the Turkish side and are negotiating the price and joint production issues, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Friday. "We are continuing the negotiations on all the issues related to the S-400, including joint production and the price. We have agreed in principle but I can’t say anything on technical issues," the newspaper Milliyet quoted him as saying. Turkey will purchase Russia’s anti-aircraft missile systems as it "needs to strengthen its air defense capabilities," the minister said. |

| #6 TW, Turkey has been since Yippie the loose woman of Nato. A willing follower of the latest gigolo when making eyes at the EU stopped working. |

| #2 Gun running trumps geo-politics? Who knew ? I'll never forget seeing Hind helicopters being loaded onto huge Russian cargo jets at Ramstein Airbase. |
