"Speaking at the launch ceremony of third Ada-class warship, F-513 TCG Burgazada, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has stressed the significance of the defense industry, saying that Turkey would start producing an aircraft carrier after Turkey's LHD ship, TCG Anadolu.
Erdoğan's remarks were made in his speech at a launching ceremony of the Istanbul Naval Shipyard.
"There isn't any obstacle to produce our own aircraft carrier; Turkey cannot fall into laziness in the defense and military fields, the strategic location of our country doesn't allow this," said the President.
Erdoğan also touched upon the terror issue that Turkey has been struggling against for more than 30 years, said that the last year's efforts are the most significant part of Turkey's fight.
Erdoğan retreated that as many as 7,600 terrorists have been eliminateded since the beginning of the counterterrorism operations that was conducted on July 2015." YeniŞafak
