US' 'threatening' language unacceptable, Turkey's National Security Council says

he United States' use of a threatening language against Turkey is unacceptable and disrespectful, given the ties and turst between the two allies, Turkey's National Security Council (MGK) said in a statement on Monday.

The council, which convened under the new presidential system for the first time, said the U.S. stance on Turkey's defense industry projects, namely linking such deals to conditions in violation of international agreements, will cause irreparable damage the strategic partnership between both countries.

It also reiterated Turkey's determination to fight against all terror organizations, in particular against the PKK, Daesh and the Gülenist Terror Organization (FETO).

Relations between Turkey and the United States have spiraled into a full-blown crisis over the trial of terror-linked pastor Andrew Brunson, who was in custody for 21 months until he was transferred to house arrest last week.
