Erdogan requested additional assistance from NATO

Turkey requested additional NATO assistance in connection with the situation in the Syrian province of Idlib. This was stated by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following a meeting with Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Speaking at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General, the Turkish leader said that he requested additional assistance from the alliance in connection with the current situation in Syrian Idlib. According to him, the situation in Syria threatens all European states.

No country in Europe has the right to indifferently look at the humanitarian drama in Syria. We expect solidarity and additional assistance from NATO

Erdogan said, adding that Turkey is the only NATO country that "fought the Islamic State (banned in Russia) and lost many of its troops."

In turn, the NATO Secretary General assured the Turkish President that the alliance would provide additional assistance to Turkey, supporting it in "various ways."

This includes defensive missile systems that help defend Turkey against threats from Syria.

- added Stoltenberg.

Erdogan said earlier that Turkey has the right to unilateral actions in Syria if Russia does not fulfill its obligations.

Recall that on March 5 in Moscow there were lengthy negotiations between the leaders of Russia and Turkey, the result of which was the introduction of a ceasefire in Idlib province and the cessation of hostilities from 00:01 on March 6. The parties agreed to continue a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

Star-striped singing along! When militants occupied Syria and slaughtered and drowned people, then there were no threats to anyone, but now that the bandits are being killed and they are trying to escape, this is a disaster ....
How got these lights of democracy!

They didn’t know about it until Russia appeared there and now their brainchild is living out its last days, so they screamed.

Well yes. They killed it far away, but they flee to Europe. The difference is huge.

Erdogan is very greedy. I think he is waiting for an evil joke of fate.

[Graduate student]

Negotiations with Russia did not convince Erdogan to stop. He does not lose his hope for the restoration of the Ottoman Empire. Turning to NATO, he wants to realize his neo-imperial ambitions with their help.

Not negotiations, but negotiators could not convince.
But I must admit that I also counted on the fact that Putin, with his political weight and enormous resources of the state, would immediately put the Ottoman on his shoulder ...

Turning to NATO, he wants to realize his neo-imperial ambitions with their help.

NATO includes 29 countries. The most powerful of them, the United States, has already provided "assistance" to Turkey:
"Commenting on the clash between the Syrian and Turkish military in the province of Idlib, the head of the State Department called the incident a" serious escalation "provoked by the" Assad regime. "
On behalf of NATO, Stoltenberg said the same: "The NATO Secretary General assured the Turkish president that the alliance will provide Turkey with additional assistance by supporting it" in various ways. "
It is enough to look at the list of NATO members to understand that Erdogan can rely only on his own forces.

This is what happens when a regional power begins to build an empire out of itself. First, the suggestion, "with the introduction into the chest", and then on the carpet to Moscow, where they already explained in words, "how much are melons in the bazaar."

And he will get it. "Mentally with you."

Something it reminds me of. Further north is another barrier that protects Europe. as they have already reached. First shit and then HELP, WE SAVE ALL !!!

[Vadim Zhivov]

No .. HELP we can’t cope with the legitimate government ... Turkish in the Syrian garden ...

[bessmertniy]

Erdogan is rushing around between Moscow and NATO. It would be definitively determined and not mislead the world.

[Polymer]

I just could not understand the adequate Erdogan or not? But now doubts are dispelled - no, not adequate. He is trying to pit everyone with everyone, and to be in the wives on this wave. Previously, everything was trying on someone else's ... hump in paradise. Only all this is somehow too frank, rude and inept. For a world-class politician ... some kind of kindergarten!

[rotmistr60]

Turkey requested additional NATO assistance

I can write it rudely, but how could it be otherwise - with wet underpants and with my nationalists it’s hard to wag. Therefore, once again for help to NATO. And those who are usually diplomatically - we will certainly support you, but exclusively morally and possibly with ammunition. Where should the poor sultan go? Only to Russia with the hope of at least a little more power. .

[cniza]

The Sultan is turning around and it seems that his internal support is disappearing very quickly ...

[fruit_cake]

he is refugees to them, and they help him?

[Loess]

Erdogan said, adding that Turkey is the only NATO country that "fought the Islamic State (banned in Russia) and lost many of its military personnel."

How the speeches have changed after meeting with Putin. So, you see, Erdogan will soon say that the recent events were in fact a planned Syrian-Turkish operation to destroy the militants.

[Guru]

Edik does not just ask, but demands at the same time blackmailing Europe with refugees. Therefore, I think in Idlib Calm, not a truce.

[cniza]

And the relative calm ...

Dead herring lies as always. And all the more so as he won’t take a single step without a pointer from the merikatos.

You understand correctly. Does it remind you of the rhetoric of the commander-in-chief of the "most powerful army in Europe" during the Debaltsevo cauldron?

[cniza]

Something is, but he has other problems with the shaft, and that's rushing around.

[Honest Citizen]

It is easier for the Turks - they even have a common border with Syria, so that the Sultan can start a military operation there in one person. The whole question is what losses will be unacceptable for the Turks.

[cniza]

This is essentially a third front for him;

It would be easier if only Syria opposed Turkey. But in Idlib are our SSO and VP.
If the sultan in one person begins a military operation there, then not only his face can be lost there.

"The director of the General Intelligence Service of Egypt, Abbas Kamel, has visited Damascus to meet with his Syrian counterpart, Al-Masdar News reported Sunday, March 8, citing a source in the Syrian capital."
"The visit took place at about the same time as the Libyan delegation, sent by the commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Marshal Khalifa Haftar, paid an official visit to Damascus to reopen the North African country's embassy in the Syrian capital."

"

I think that this Trump will still be played. Turks are beaten in Libya, and beaten well.

[maidan.izrailovich]

Director of the General Intelligence Service of Egypt Abbas Kamel visited Damascus, ....

A very good sign.
The fact is that until 1971, Egypt and Syria were a single state. And it was called the United Arab Republic.
Therefore, as you know, Egypt has a special relationship with Syria. And if he begins to help the Syrians in the fight against Turkey, this will greatly facilitate the task. Not just Russia pull the strap.

[ALEKSEY]

Erdogan continues to portray a crisis in relations with Russia - he has such a role according to a script written in conjunction with GDP. Beautiful setting.

[Campanella]

Most likely, Erogen maneuvers as he can to save his carcass. Here Ukraine spread its legs and lay under the West in romantic hopes. And the West took advantage, but for some reason he’s not in a hurry to get married.

[Strashila]

"Erdogan requested additional assistance from NATO," he officially admitted that the occupation of Syria is taking place with the support of NATO countries.

[ximkim]

Yeah. And one can still see MILITARY ASKS to come from the EU countries ..

[Campanella]

Reliable Turkish partner!)))
It’s good that our leaders understand who they are dealing with and can think ahead with their decisions.

[Narcolog]

It seems to me alone that the concepts of "humanitarian drama" and "missile systems" are somehow incompatible? Are humanitarian problems now being solved exclusively by different weapons systems?

Fully compatible. The humanitarian drama is refugees. Do not want refugees - give rockets)))

[Grits]

In the Western world they are very compatible. You have apparently forgotten Yugoslavia with its "humanitarian bombing". This is generally the highest pilots of verbiage and cynicism.

[Jack O'Neill]

This includes defensive missile systems that help defend Turkey against threats from Syria.

The French, for example, can give Crotale, with the crew, of course. In the same way, both Americans and Patriots can deploy.

Can not. The Americans themselves will have to serve, and under no circumstances will they conduct an attack on Russian aircraft.

It is the Americans who will serve, since there is no time to learn the Turks. With Krotal the same song.

And I did not write about Russia. It's about the Syrian Air Force.

It is immediately clear that Erdogan does not read VO. Today, several people in the comments said that NATO will not help Turkey.

These few people objectively assess the situation.
But for Erdogan in this situation, all is one. Read, do not read - it is futile. (from)

[Gardamir]

This is bias, this is what we are talking about Ukrainians, this is overwhelming. Seek victory where it cannot be. NATO uses everything to drive a wedge between Russia and Turkey. This is not difficult because the interests of both Turkey and Russia do not overlap.
However, it is more correct to say not the interests of Russia, but the interests of the Kremlin.

Do not wishful thinking.

NATO uses everything to drive a wedge between Russia and Turkey.

NATO is an abstract concept. Turkey is pushed into the abyss specifically by Britain.

the interests of both Turkey and Russia do not overlap.

Not really yours. Turkish construction business in Russia, trade, gas pipelines, nuclear power plants.

However, it is more correct to say not the interests of Russia, but the interests of the Kremlin.

For the whole of Russia do not speak. This is your personal opinion.

Erdogan entered Syria a little earlier than Russia. Expected to receive dividends, but instead "bummer". He would have to come to terms with reality, but he is still waiting for help because of ..
As the son of a Turkish citizen Ostap-Suleiman-Bertha-Maria-Bandar-Bey said: "Abroad will help us."

[Alexander Sosnitsky]

What makes Erdogan so good is his enthusiasm, everyone would be like a former footballer. And what is bad, so he leads to a dead end all and always. What is good for them is good for everyone. And the rest simply do not exist. Poor Syria gut everything from all sides and divide among themselves like predators. Russia alone helps her to get back on her feet and it is not Russia's fault that Syria fell under them. These predators think that all this will end well for them, but the drama will continue over them. This sinful world is stupid after all. Not a single day without a war in the history of mankind. Erdogan has no idea that he will be next. Thanks to the dryers that the catching up F16 "ran out of fuel" when he skidded to the Crimea.

These words clearly indicated that the Turkish invaders could bomb Syria, and NATO supports this.

No country in Europe has the right to look indifferently at the humanitarian drama in Syria.

And this is arrogance, and Pharisaism
