Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Turkey is committed to a deal to purchase S-400 air defense systems from Russia despite warnings from Washington that the deal could put Turkey's participation in the US F-35 fighter aircraft program at risk.

Speaking Friday at a joint news conference with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, Cavusoglu said Turkey has met all of its obligations concerning the F-35 program.

Cavusoglu said: "As a principle it is contrary to international laws for a third country to oppose an agreement between two countries."
