CORRECTED: Turkey brands US move to bar Ankara from F-35 programme 'unfair'
Ankara, July 18 (AFP) Jul 18, 2019
Turkey on Wednesday lambasted an "unfair" US move to exclude the country from the F-35 stealth fighter jet programme over Ankara's controversial purchase of a Russian missile defence system.

"This one-sided step neither complies with the spirit of alliance nor is it based on legitimate reasons," the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement. "It is unfair to remove Turkey, one of the partners in the F-35 programme."
