Nope. It is related to the helicopter capture and transfer system.

According to President Erdoğan Germans are blocking machinery (probably related to propulsion) for Turkish frigates, turbines for the Akkuyu nuclear plant, and the Eurofighter deal.

Germans are also slowing down the Reis class submarine project.

They did block MTU engines and STM & DzKK agreed to switch with MAN engines. Renk cross connect gears are, however, delivered or ordered with no further issues. This is strange, to my opinion the gearbox is much more crucial since it is custom made and would cause delays in the project since there is no alternative supplier.
MTU either tells 'there is no engine in stock' and postpones the delivery to two to three years later, while it is known that they have a stock, or they tell that there issues with the customs, regulations and export regulations.

Anyone who is slightly familiar with German bureucracy would understand these much better, if they don't desire to sell a nut, they would find a regulation as an alibi.

I am totally on this page, likely TN thinks the same. They have had a great and indispensable input for 76mm project and i don't think they would be willing to allocate additional resources for a 127mm project. We should improve 76mm as far as possible to the SR level and equip it with multi-purpose smart munitions. From there on we may work on 127mm smart munitions for 127mm to be supplied from foreign partners.

76mm could be even meaningful for the multi-purpose frigates. Twin 76mm configuration would provide a better protection and higher fire of rate and easier integration. 76mm goes one deck level depth, 127 occupies 3 deck levels.

Let's just focus on 40mm and 76mm and make these as compact and responsive as possible, equipped with variety of smart munitions, and with optional non-penetrating variants.

To enrich this with this;

The multi purpose frigate will likely be derived from TF-2000, just like how Hisar Class derived from ada class. A 76 mm will be much easier to integrate, operate, maintain on a multi-purpose frigate. Sapomer munition could provide a decent shore bombardment range.

Indeed, the TF-2000 is based on a much more flexible idea and philosophy than the Ada class design. Size and dimensions are another factor here. I believe the current design can be scaled down to a 6500+ tonne hull that can serve as a multi-purpose frigate, equipped with MFR and CENK-S, or a scaled down UMR radar combined with MFR.
