The Philhellenic Senator linked the issue of the sale of F-16 aircraft to Turkey with the violations of international law, human rights, and the Russian S-400.
The US Senator seems to be putting a block on Turkey for the sale of F-16s, Bob Menendezwho after his meeting with the head of GEETHA, stated that Turkey violates the Greek airspace, but also human rights, by setting specific conditions that Erdogan must meet in order to acquire the fighter jets.
Speaking to Hellas Journal he linked the issue of the sale of F-16 aircraft to Turkey with violations of international law, human rights, but also with the Russian S-400.
“I was clear about the issue of selling F-16s to Turkey. We sell our weapons systems based on certain rules. Not just for the cedar to those who embrace the same values as us. With Turkey we obviously have a number of issues, from the S-400s to overflights over the territory of a neighboring country, Greece. Its relationship with Russia and of course the constant violations of human rights. There are more journalists and lawyers in Turkish prisons, so the list is long“, he said characteristically.
He added that in order to achieve the purchase of 40 F-16s and the modernization of 80 other aircraft, they should address these issues.
Neither more nor less, the pro-Hellenic Senator says that Turkey must give up the Russian S-400 missiles, stop overflights over the Greek islands and respect human rights.
