ANKARA [MENL] -- Turkey, despite U.S. pressure, has remained cautious over
the Joint Strike Fighter project.
Officials said the government of Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has
rebuffed U.S. appeals to submit a major order of the F-35 fighter-jet. They
said the government would remain with the decision by Turkey's Defense
Industry Executive Board to order two F-35s in 2012.
