Germany's objection creates problems for Eurofighter Typhoon sale
Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler had stated that the Eurofighter is the best alternative to the F-16, for which the US is creating political difficulties. However, despite being a joint producer of the Eurofighter, Germany opposes its sale to Turkey. In his article evaluating the situation, journalist Murat Yetkin raised the question of whether Turkey's major aircraft purchase for Turkish Airlines (THY) would change Germany's stance.
