The US pressure on Turkey amid Russia-made S-400 missiles may have the opposite consequences, Bloomberg reported referring to the Turkish president's official representative Ibrahim Kalin.

“If another country comes to us with a maximalist position and demands, you know, ‘It’s either my way or the highway,’ then that kind of attitude pushes you in other directions,” Ibrahim Kalin said in an interview in Istanbul on Saturday.

“The U.S. side must understand Turkey’s national security interests,” Kalin said. “We want to see concrete action by our allies.”
