BERLIN HAD APPROVED THE INITIAL REQUEST

German Government Spokesperson Stefan Kornelius, in a statement made last July, referred to a report by Der Spiegel that the Federal Security Council had approved Turkey's initial request for 40 Eurofighter fighter jets, stating, "I can confirm that the German government has responded positively to an initial request from the industry."

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also responded to a journalist's question, "Have you talked to Starmer (UK Prime Minister Keir) about the export of Eurofighter? Are you ready to deliver these to Turkey?" by saying, "We have not yet made a decision regarding export licenses, but we are moving towards a good decision that will enable or provide such an export license. We will wait and see, but I will not comment on which countries we are considering in this regard."
