AHI Position & Talking Points 

Supporting S.922AHI reiterates that Turkey’s plan to acquire the Russian S-400 missile  system threatens the foreign policy and security interests of the United States.  

F-35 Technology will be compromised If Turkey purchases the S-400 Anti-Aircraft System. Watch How 

AHI further adds that US policy against Turkey must be placed in the context of Turkey’s repeated actions threatening stability in the eastern mediterranean and thus the foreign policy and security interests of the United States:

  • Turkey’s  daily violations of Greece’s sovereignty in the Aegean recklessly placing lives in harm’s way constituting acts of aggression towards a fellow NATO member and US ally;

  • Turkey’s gunboat diplomacy in the exclusive economic zone of Cyprus; 

  • Turkey’s constant violation of human rights and religious freedom of minorities, including the Ecumenical Patriarchate. 

S.922 was co-sponsored by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Thom Tillis (R-NC)  and introduced on March 28, 2019 by Senator James Lankford (R-OK).
