American journalist on Washington`s demand for Ankara: `They`ll get  the jets anyway`

ArmInfo. American journalist Lindsey Snell commented on the remarks of Spokesman for Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) Omer Celik, that the United States demanded that Turkey stop supporting Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh in exchange for the supply of F- 16 fighter jets to Ankara.

"Today, Erdogan's AKP party spokesman said that the US told Turkey to  stop supporting Azerbaijan in its attacks on Nagorno-Karabakh as a  condition for purchasing the F-16 and F-35.  "We will not accept this  blackmail," Celik said," Lindsey Snell wrote in on her X,  sarcastically stating that, "They'll get the jets anyway".

Yesterday, during a press conference, Celik said that, "Turkiye  wishes for the ongoing discussions between Azerbaijan and Armenia to  result in a peace treaty. "if Armenia stops destructive steps, the  3+3 cooperation format will contribute greatly to the regional  peace," he added.

Celik also said that the United States demanded that Turkey stop  providing support to Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. He noted that  Washington put forward this demand during the abovementioned period  as a condition for sending F-16s to Turkey.
