“I was going to hand that letter to their Government next year, and in particular, to Erdogan, and I won’t open the brackets how it’ll be done.

Thus, the name of united air defense system—“Caucasian” was a hint to NATO, that Russia doesn’t intend to concede the Caucasus to any other security system.”
