Rolling Back Prohibitions Would Surrender Leverage in Securing Turkey’s Release of Pastor Andrew Brunson, Preventing Turkey’s Purchase of Russian S-400 Anti-Aircraft Missiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON, DC<\/strong> \u2013 The Armenian National Committee of American (ANCA), In Defense of Christians (IDC) and the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC) expressed sharp disappointment today over the Trump Administration\u2019s newly revealed opposition to Congressional restrictions upon the sale of advanced F-35 aircraft to Turkey.

ANCA, IDC and HALC call out Trump Administration for opposing Senate restrictions on F-35 sale to Turkey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Trump Administration relayed its position in a letter from Mick Mulvaney, Director of the Office of the Management and the Budget, to Senator Richard Shelby, the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. In his letter, Director Mulvaney wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Administration opposes section 7046(d)(3) of the [Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations] bill that restricts the use of funding for the transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey. Turkey is an important NATO ally, and has been an international participant with the F-35 program since 2002. The Administration shares the Congress\u2019s concerns over recent Turkish actions but opposes language that preemptively restricts its ability to work with Turkey to address those concerns.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

ANCA, IDC and HALC categorically reject the Administration\u2019s position:<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s opposition to the bipartisan consensus around common-sense restrictions on the reckless transfer of F-35 aircraft to Turkey dramatically reduces American leverage, undercutting our ability to secure either Turkey\u2019s release of Pastor Andrew Brunson or to prevent Turkey\u2019s purchase of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missiles.<\/p>\n

Sadly, by taking this short-sighted stand, President Trump is signaling weakness, seriously undermining America\u2019s negotiating position toward Erdogan\u2019s Turkey.<\/p>\n

We encourage Congressional leaders to move quickly to enact statutory restrictions on F-35 and other advanced weapons sales\/transfers to Turkey, and, more broadly, to undertake a long over-due policy review of U.S. relations with the increasingly hostile Turkish regime.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
