Sources from the Ministry of National Defense responded to claims made by a Greek newspaper regarding the “S-400s being kept under U.S. control at Incirlik in exchange for re-inclusion in the F-35 program.” The ministry sources stated:

“Regarding this matter, it is important not to give credence to news aimed at shaping perceptions by third countries and to approach it with caution. Currently, there is no change in the positions of either country regarding the S-400 and F-35.

We have always stated that it is not right for allies to impose restrictions or sanctions on each other, as it goes against the spirit of alliance. Our expectation is that our allies will make decisions in line with the spirit of the alliance and the common security perspective, and lift all restrictions, whether overt or covert.”

US State Department: “The conditions for supplying F-35s to Turkey are widely known and our policy has not changed. Turkey’s continued interoperability with NATO remains a critical US priority.”

It is so sad to see our defense minister lying blatantly.
Maybe we're actually following the US's receipt and get rid of the S400. But this cannot be fed to the public as it is and they resorted to telling "Americans saw KAAN's progress and decided to sell us F35". As childish as this sounds, AKP supporters would easily buy it.

Otherwise, why would they send a formal request to buy F35 if they knew the US would reject it? Things don't add up.

Did we send a formal request ? I dont think so. There is talks about it but sending a formal request to buy f 35 without lifting the santions doesnt seem smart to me.
