In the case of the F16, Turkey hopes for a reasonable approach from the US

  "We have been members of NATO for 71 years, we are fulfilling our obligations and we expect the allies to fulfill theirs". Thus Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Aka. "We await a reasonable and positive decision by the US authorities on the sale of F-16 fighter jets, as this will strengthen NATO," he announced on Saturday. “Judging by all the statements from the White House and the Pentagon, the issue of selling F-16s to Turkey and modernizing existing aircraft is moving towards a positive outcome, but from the outside the US Congress has some statements negative from some of its members," the minister told Turkish media.
