The special envoy of the United States to Turkey, Tom Brak, responds on Turkey's defense industry and also on Turkey working on international issues:
"It is not a critical issue in this relationship, because Turkey truly has an independent defense industry. We saw the drones of the second largest and strongest defense partner in NATO. We also saw the design of the KAAN aircraft, and that is one of the topics we are working on - it is one of the challenges we face. We are working on the Gaza issue, on matters related to Gaza, on matters related to Azan. Iran, and Turkey is a very important voice for us, Turkey also serves as a bridge for our cultural efforts here, and we know that it has adopted different perspectives in Turkey and its neighboring countries, and of course."
