“My approval of Turkey's request to purchase F-16 aircraft has been contingent on Turkish approval of Sweden's NATO membership. But make no mistake: This was not a decision I came to lightly. I look forward to beginning this new chapter in our relationship with Turkey, expanding the NATO alliance, and working with our global allies in standing up to ongoing Russian aggression against its peaceful neighbours.”

“The US side tried to convince Turkish officials to put more pressure on Hamas and make it release the captives. But the Turkish position was very clear on this matter. They said that the prisoner release should be mutual, where Hamas releases captives and Israel releases Palestinian prisoners. Turkey also asked for an unconditional ceasefire and said there should be an international mechanism to observe the ceasefire, which Ankara would be the guarantor for. But we haven't heard anything about a ceasefire from Blinken. He has been using the phrase humanitarian pause and the Turkish side has told him that this is not enough.”

“It's something that we would oppose. The concern that we have is that any new offensive would undermine regional stability [and] provide malign actors with opportunities to exploit instability.”

“There is the payment of $1.4bn we have made for the F-35s and the US had such a proposal in return for these payments. And regarding this, we said let's take whatever steps are needed to be taken to meet the defence needs of our country. We are working to further develop our fleet from the modernisation of the F-16s in our possession to new additional F-16 purchases.”

“Both countries [the US and Russia] have said these terrorists will be taken 30km down [from the border] … promises have not been kept … both the US and Russia have responsibility for the recent attacks, because they did not keep their promises, and these terrorists are still there. We need to sort this out ourselves. We will cleanse this region of terrorists, we will do whatever is necessary for our security.”

“At the individual level of analysis, President Erdogan perceives a threat from the US thinking that it is intentionally undermining him with the ultimate goal of removing him from power. This frustration and threat perception leads President Erdogan to seek a counterbalancing alliance with Russia against the US. However, it also puts Turkey in an extremely weak position towards Russia with which it has more competing interests than common ground.”

“In Washington, Turkey's purchase of S400 missile systems is not solely seen as the purchase of a defence system, rather it is perceived as a manifestation of Turkey's geopolitical identity increasingly shifting from the West and moving closer to Russia and China.”

“Erdogan would use Afghanistan as a showcase, that actually Turkey and the US share interests on a number of issues, and that the US also benefits from cooperation with Turkey. Ankara sees this as a topic that proves that the West still needs Turkey, or the West still benefits from cooperation with Turkey.”

“I told [Biden] that they should not expect Turkey to take a different step on the F-35 and S-400 issues because we did what we had to for the F-35s and gave the necessary money. We must monitor developments closely. We will be following up on all our rights. In the next period, our foreign ministers, defence ministers and defence industry chairs will be moving this process forward by meeting with their counterparts.”

“President Erdoğan opened Turkey's national archives & called for a joint historical committee to investigate the events of 1915, to which Armenia never responded. It is a pity @POTUS [President of the United States] has ignored, among others, this simple fact and taken an irresponsible and unprincipled position.”

“I would expect the secretary and his Turkish counterpart will have an opportunity to chat, to connect in the coming days. Russian S-400s are incompatible with NATO equipment, they threaten the security of NATO technology, and they're inconsistent with Turkey's commitments as a NATO ally. Turkey is a long-standing and valued NATO ally ... We seek cooperation on common priorities, and as with any ally, we engage in dialogue to address disagreements.”

“The most sensitive issue in our relations with the US is the country's support to the YPG, the PKK's arm in Syria. We can find a solution for the S-400s [US wants Turkey to decommission the Russian S-400 missiles] in our negotiations with the US but we expect them to see the facts about the YPG. If we cannot find a solution, we cannot go anywhere in relations with the US.”
