Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he last discussed with his NATO counterparts the potential imposition of further sanctions against Turkey in response to its purchase and deployment of the Russian S-400 missile system.
We do not speculate about possible future sanctions designations. It is for NATO Allies to make decisions on their own sanctions. Allies have committed to reducing dependencies on Russian-sourced equipment. We expect Allies to neither buy nor operate Russian military equipment and have regularly raised our concerns with Turkey that their procurement of Russian S400 systems is a threat to NATO interoperability and incompatible with Allied systems.
