Deliveries of Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems to Turkey began on July 12, on the eve of the third anniversary of the military coup attempt there, which in Ankara is viewed as having been the execution of a secret plan of the US.

Today, Turkey and Russia enjoy very good relations, and this was certainly achieved through the efforts of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The cancellation of election results and the holding of new elections in Istanbul is a matter of time as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the main ally of the Justice and Development Party, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party Devlet Bahceli do not rule out the cancellation of the election results in Istanbul.
