Commenting on President Vladimir Putin's recent statements about arms development and lawmakers' signals Alexander Sherin to keep her partners close, including Ankara, Turkey's Beyaz Karatas expert told “Sputnik” that these statements will affect Ankara, which it does not need for prevention systems from NATO.
Retired Major General Beyaz Karatas said recent comments by senior Russian officials that Ankara should not be backed by NATO when it comes to supporting national security.
“Moscow underlines that Turkey can quietly leave NATO, and after doing so, Ankara will have guarantees that it will not face any threat in terms of its security,” said Karatas.
Karatas recalled what he had already said about the likelihood of a situation in which the US could add a nuclear target to Turkey, reports “Sputnik International” Transmission Periscope.
By saying so, I would say that if any NATO country, mainly America, shares a nuclear attack into a third country from Turkish territory, it could turn Turkey into a nuclear target. However, he offered Turkey a defence system that is alternative to NATO's nuclear prevention, and on the other hand, statements sent a specific message to NATO and the US via Turkey,” he added.
“The US is not a superpower in terms of its resources in the field of conventional weapons, and they themselves understand that. ”
The UN “is the forces created based on the power of coalitions such as the case of intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or elsewhere in the world. We're talking about an American who's created an alliance with 70 different forces. This is part of the key evidence that the US is no longer a world superpower,” he noted.
It was echoed by Turkish political analyst Ozdemir Akbal, who said that the Russian president's “words reflect his desire to form a new union”.
According to Akbal, one of the goals was “sent a specific message to Turkey, which is going through problems in relations with its allies over the Syrian issue. ”/Periscopi/
