Turkey has not given up on the U.S. F-35s, and it will not be easy to remove Ankara from the fighter jets production program, the countrys presidential spokesperson said on Sept. 10. 
 “We have not given up on the F-35s, it is not easy to remove Turkey from that program either. We believe that the crisis will be resolved sooner or later,†İbrahim Kalın told reporters following a Cabinet meeting at the presidential complex.    Â
In July, the U.S. suspended Turkeys involvement in the F-35 program, saying its purchase of the Russian S-400 missile defense program could endanger the fighter jets, a claim Turkey has consistently denied. Â
