Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said it is unacceptable for nuclear-armed states to forbid his country to have nuclear weapons, but did not say whether Turkey had plans to obtain them.
Some countries have missiles with nuclear warheads, not one or two. But (they tell us) we can't have them. This, I cannot accept," he told his ruling AK Party members.
Turkey has been part of a nuclear-sharing program among NATO allies and has hosted U.S. nuclear weapons, but does not have any nuclear weapons of its own.
