In addition, the Turkish government also said that an employee of the US Consulate was arrested in Istanbul last week to ensure that he was the "mastermind" of the attempted coup.

Since the attempted coup in Turkey last year, the relationship between Turkey and the United States has been declining. According to the statistics of Turkish Ministry of Culture, the number of Americans coming to Turkey decreased from 883,065,438+0 in 2065,438+05 to 37,000 in 2065,438+06.

However, with the cold relationship between the United States and Turkey, Turkey and Russia have warmed up again, echoing each other in diplomacy, military affairs and energy.

Previously, Turkey had always wanted to buy American Patriots and other air defense systems, but the United States did not intend to export these weapons to Turkey, and Turkey disdained the European "Ziyuan 30" air defense system. Therefore, Turkish President Erdogan decided to buy S-400 air defense missiles from Russia. The two countries have reached an agreement and signed a contract, and Turkey has also paid the down payment for the purchase of this system.

On the other hand, in the current situation in the Middle East, in addition to Iraq, Iran and other Islamic countries becoming more and more friendly to Russia, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, a staunch ally of the United States, have also "defected" to show their goodwill to Russia. .........................................................................................................
