The US applies a double standard in arms sales, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu told journalists.

He said that Ankara's efforts to buy weapons from foreign countries continue:

"For example, sanctions against India have been lifted. But the situation with us is different. Of course, we think buying F-35s from another country is better than producing them in the country."
