The Turkish president’s office denied media reports claiming Russian troops will be deployed in the country during the coming period and described the reports are “incorrect”.
A spokesman for the presidency, Ibrahim Kalın said at a press conference held at the presidential complex in the capital Ankara that the purchase of the Russian made S-400 missile air defence systems “does not mean the deployment of Russian troops in Turkey”.
He stressed that the deployment of the “S-400 missile defence system inside Turkey “will be preceded by training courses” adding that technicians from the two countries “will exchange visits in this regard”.
