President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the possibility on pro-govt TV channel A Haber. FMTNews Turkey
ISTANBUL: Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday threatened to close two strategic military bases used by the United States in Turkey, after Washington warned of sanctions over Ankara buying Russian arms.
Erdogan has regularly raised this possibility in the past, at times of tension between the two countries. Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu raised the issue of the bases last week. Responding to the US threat of fresh sanctions, he warned that their closure could be “put on the table”.
