ISTANBUL, August 15. /TASS/. Turkey does not intend to supply domestically produced weaponry to Ukraine, Turkish international security expert Canan Tercan told TASS, adding that the weapons in question could be those previously supplied to the republic or those manufactured within its territory under an American license.

"Turkey does not plan to supply domestically produced weapons to Ukraine. The armaments in question were previously manufactured in Turkey using American technology but are not Turkish, meaning they are effectively American weapons, so their re-export requires approval from the US Congress," the expert said as she commented on remarks by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova regarding Moscow’s request for clarification from Washington and Ankara concerning reports of plans to supply weapons to Ukraine.
