As far as I know, the first installment was also transferred. This process will continue between Turkey and Russia. Both [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin and I are determined to realize this deal,&#8221; Erdo\u011fan said on Aug. 10 on his way to Astana.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting that the steps taken by Turkey to improve its defenses and become more independent in terms of defense are not open for discussion, he said, &#8220;We make our own decisions regarding our independence and we are obliged to take the necessary measures in defense and security. If we&#8217;re having issues in acquiring certain defense instruments and our attempts are met with obstacles, what we&#8217;re going to do is simple; we will take care of ourselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Read more at https:\/\/www.dailysabah.com\/diplomacy\/2017\/09\/12\/erdogan-s-400-is-a-done-deal-down-payment-already-transferred-to-moscow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sourced : Daily Sabah By Ali \u00dcnal President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan dispelled speculation on whether Turkey would give up ongoing negotiations with Russia for the purchase of the S-400 missile defense system due to pressure from NATO, saying that the first down payment for the missile system was already transferred to Russia.
