Турция в 2014 потратила $13.2 млрд на оборону.

Как заявил министр обороны Исмет Йылмаз в парламенте, 2 ноября, в ответ на парламентский запрос от депутата оппозиционной Партии националистического движения (ПНД), расходы Турции на оборону в 2014 году составили 29.4 млрд турецких лир ($13.2 млрд), сообщает Hurriyet Daily News.

Турция в 2014 году потратила на оборону около 1.71% своего валового внутреннего продукта (ВВП), что меньше того же показателя за 2002 год (3.5%) заявил Йылмаз, добавив, что в 2014 году оборонный бюджет составил 3,7 процента от общего бюджета.

Около половины военного бюджета страны идет на расходы по персоналу: заработные платы, пособий и пенсионные выплаты, добавил он.

По словам Йылмаза, военные расходы Турции на душу населения в 2013 году составили 474 лир ($213). Он также сообщил, что экспорт военной промышленности Турции составил $1.4 млрд в 2014 году, в то время как импорт составил $1.3 млрд.

Турция ведет переговоры по закупке ПВО и противоракетных систем с местными производителями, с поставщиками из Китая и Европы. Анкара планирует потратить около $70 млрд. на закупку военной техники до 2023 года.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides.
