Turkey recalled 40 military personnel from NATO headquarters exercises in Norway because the portrait of the founder of the republic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and the name of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan were on the list of "enemies". This was stated on Friday by Erdogan, whose statements are quoted by the Haberturk TV channel.
In Norway, an incident occurred. They posted a list with a list of enemies. Ataturk was typed on the list and my name was next to it. When we found out about this, we decided to withdraw the teachings of our 40 soldiers. There was an order to recall them, even if the names of the list will be removed
