Because of typical stupid turkish minds. They dont learn.Why are they announcing it before a decision is made? This jeopardizes the chance of the arms purchase. Some people could/will put pressure on UK government for not buying it.

It can be pressured by its people. Certain groups in the government or society can slander Turkey and demand not buying it. A successful media campaign could theoretically stop the deal(if there was one). Besides, what's the point of announcing it before the deal goes through? What gain can be made?I don't think the UK can be pressured.
It can provoke other buyers to act at once as there would be no need for any other confirmation that the product is worth the money. This makes sense as there are negotiations going on with several other nations.It can be pressured by its people.

IMO, the UK buying Turkish Arms is much more valuable than selling the vehicle urgently to a few more small countries. We already have our plate full. But if we could open the door to the Western(rich) countries we could sell a slew of defense products at much higher profit margins to wealthy countries and form deeper bonds that will help us to defend our needs in case of a conflict of interests. If you want to jeopardize that then you should have a good reason. And the reason you cited is not good enough, imho.It can provoke other buyers to act at once as there would be no need for any other confirmation that the product is worth the money.

Announcing before a sell will not jeopardize a sales to the UK as the news will come out at some point in the process anyway, it is not like the UK will buy them secretly, public will know before sales.IMO, the UK buying Turkish Arms is much more valuable than selling the vehicle urgently to a few more small countries.

Sure?I don't think the UK can be pressured.
AKP needs some success right now. Thats why they announced it.It can be pressured by its people. Certain groups in the government or society can slander Turkey and demand not buying it.
