Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu claimed on Sunday that NATO has “no intention” of intervening in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, but vowed that his country would respond to any attack on a NATO ally. Throughout the conflict, Turkey has attempted to balance its relationship with both the alliance and Russia.
“NATO’s position is clear. The alliance has no intention of interfering in the Ukrainian conflict,” Cavusoglu told reporters on Sunday after a trip to Latin America.
However, Turkey’s top diplomat added that “in the event of the slightest attack on any ally, we will respond adequately.”
Thanks Turkish bros
Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do anyway, as a member, and article 5 is triggered?
Erdogan doesn’t have a choice. That dipshit would get sanctioned to hell and back if he stopped being useful in the region.
Hmm… even if its Greece ? /s
Good. For better or worse, with or without Erdogan, we absolutely need Turkey as an ally on the Black Sea.
