NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg answered questions about the US decision to impose sanctions on Turkey. This was reported by Haber Global. "I am saddened because we are in a situation where NATO allies will impose sanctions together," he said. According to him, there have been concerns about Turkey's purchase of S-400 systems in the past:
"This is a national decision. However, the S-400 system is not compatible with NATO systems. NATO cannot integrate into air and missile defense systems. I expressed my concern about this. I call on Turkey and all NATO allies to find a solution. We know that there are talks on the delivery of NATO systems such as Patriot and SAMP-T. Both of these systems could strengthen Turkey's NATO-compliant air defense system. It is important how we can find a positive solution to this difficult situation for Turkey and the union. "
