Mr. Sunnetci who is an editor of Defence Turkey Magazine reports that Turkey (TR Motor) indeed is interested in co-developing a new turbofan engine based on Al-322 (not Al-222, he misspelled it) with Ivchenko-Progress.
With CEO claiming that the constructed prototype will undergo ground tests in 2022 even
BEFORE the conclusion of CDR and the engine being sourced from Ukraine which relatively has little experience in developing modern afterburners high-thrust turbofan engines that are suitable for the 5th gen fighter aircraft, you know this project is either a gigantic scam or a train wreck waiting to happen.

However, I guess It doesn't matter as long as TAI could roll out something (probably more of a mock-up or a technology demonstrator) out of hangar in 2023 for the celebration of Turkish Republic's centenary.
Even then, I have not heard that the US government nor GE has approved the sale of GE F110 for TF-X, even for prototypes.
