The assessment that the Turkey is an important one threatening for the global security and that the USA they should do everything they can to resist its aggression in the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean, the New York senator said Chuck Schumer.

The Leader of the majority of the Democrats in the Senate expressed this view in writing in the context of the communication he had with the actors of the diaspora, after taking the initiatives to inform the Congress about the sale of F-16s to Turkey.

As the Democratic Senator noted, the final say in evaluating this defense contract will rest with Congress, which will judge whether such a sale serves the best interests of the United States and its allies.

Senator Chuck Schumer’s Position on Selling F-16s to Turkey:

Turkey is a major threat to global security and we must do everything we can to counter its aggression in the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean regions. The notion that the United States must trust Turkey to respect global rules and the international order is not only dangerous, it endangers our security and that of our allies. I strongly believe that the US and the international community should take diplomatic action to ensure that Turkey is held accountable for any wrongdoing it may commit.

Ultimately, it will be up to Congress to assess the implications of this proposed arms sale and whether it is in the best interests of the United States and our allies.
