ally the US to act as a strategic partner instead of blocking its arms deals.

Erdogan made remarks on Saturday in response to US plans to block F-35 sales to Ankara.

"We say that the US is our strategic partner. As our strategic partner, the US should not say we should knock on another door," he said.

"If we are strategic partners, if we are model partners, the US should not legally wrong us here," he further noted.

"We are not interested with the Senate. There is only one thing that interests us. Have I discussed this with the president of the US? I have. Have we talked about this in our inter-delegation meeting? We have." he commented.

said it will look elsewhere to equip its air force if the United States blocks the sale of Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jets to Ankara.

Speaking to Ottoman Turkish media Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Washington has not yet exerted any pressure on Ankara to cancel the deal after a US Senate committee last week passed its version of a $716-billion military policy bill, including a measure to prevent Turkey from purchasing the jets.
