ANKARA: Renewal of NATO in line with the current global situation is inevitable, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, as he highlighted Turkey’s expectation for allies to show solidarity with the country regarding its anti-terror fight.
“We cannot comprehend the current situation with the mindset of 2000s,” Erdogan told reporters in Ankara Esenboga Airport ahead of his departure for the summit in London.
According to Daily Sabah, the president noted that Turkey expects allies to seek ways to boost cooperation within the bloc rather than seeking alternatives.
He continued by saying that Turkey prioritizes the bloc’s unity and pursues a multilateral foreign policy with its allies.
“NATO needs to act proactively in the face of asymmetrical threats stemming from terrorist organizations,” he added.
