Turkey expresses 'unease' to US over its removal from F-35 program, CNN Turk says

President Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman expressed "unease" on Thursday in a telephone call with US National Security Advisor John Bolton over Washington's decision to remove Turkey from its F-35 program, broadcaster CNN Turk said.
