Ukraine crisis: Is Turkey’s position in NATO getting stronger? | Turkey | DW
This year is the 70th contrast of Turkey’s NATO membership.
It is a matter of curiosity whether Russia will make a production of Ukraine, Turkey will be discussed differently in NATO, and whether it will grow with S-400s designed from Russia to be admired.
NATO as a counterbalance to the Soviets in WWII, heading east after the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. former Warsaw Pact members Poland, Czechia and Hungary in 1999; In 2004 Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia joined the Alliance.
Especially, this last one is one of the highlights for Moscow to use Russia very intensively, as well as Ukraine’s joining NATO.
Not having a threat to any NATO member for a while in Ukraine. 5 disappointed that NATO’s very infuriating incident and Russia’s attacks protesting NATO’s attacks. In this NATO situation, the 5′ military of the soldier who sees the weapon has to defend the member state that has been attacked.
NATO General Jens Stoltenberg said that they would send a message about his son, that they would not take sides in the conflict in Ukraine, that they would not fly their soldiers and planes in mortars.
Turkey and NATO
President Tayyip Erdogan also argues that Turkey has always defended the usefulness of NATO’s interpretation, saying that Kosovo can “approve Kosovo as a member of NATO” for NATO membership, during a press conference with the President of Kosovo on Tuesday.

Turkey’s major settlements are a country in the Alliance, with contributions to NATO operations and missions. The ways in which Russia’s rise will affect Turkey’s NATO membership are discussed in many ways.
The retired Ambassador is of the opinion that the Ukraine crisis had previously “been brain dead” for a while, uniting NATO and amplifying the Alliance’s plan. Göğüş, on the other hand, points negatively for Turkey if Europe wants to defend a defense other than NATO.
Former diplomat Aydın Selcen also sees NATO membership as a foreign policy for Turkey, the relations between Lausanne and Montreux, Hatay’s excluding Turkey from the Second World War and İsmet İnönü’s exclusion from World War II.
It can be said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is someone who reflects on history like September 11 in 2001.
Retired Major General Ali Er also agrees with Turkey’s NATO values. Contributing to NATO ‘contributing the most to Turkey’ seems to be going to Turkey.
According to Er, Turkey’s possession of the Straits is also an appropriate factor for NATO.
Meanwhile, Erdogan said at the press conference:
Most of these countries are NATO members. Turkey is also a NATO member. Not approaching Turkey in cooperation in the defense industry, staying away… Are you waiting for a war or are they waiting for this?
S-400 purchase from Russia
However, Turkey’s depression was created within the S-400 air defense plan from Russia, causing confidence in Turkey’s membership.
Göğüş says that Putin’s crazy predictions during the timing of Turkey’s S-400s will earn Turkey its points in the future of the Montreux Agreement.
After the purchase of the missiles, Er showed Turkey in an “environment of insecurity” with signs and says, “Putin buleri gained a great power that can take the next 2.5 billion. Because he gained a great power with an example from NATO. He put a computer.”
Although you see the purchase of the Aydın Sel defense system as “big,” the weather points out a mistake:
“$2.5 billion” could not be amplified nor uncovered by a $2.5 billion system. To whom may be available to you. . It has not been understood until now.”
Turkey for NATO
According to experts, Turkey without seeing it with this eye, and Turkey by increasing it with a part of NATO when viewed from Russia.
Selcen says that after the Soviet Union, there is no land map with Russia, and he reminds that two countries are facing each other in the Black Sea:
“Turkey will definitely talk about the whole of Europe, due to its role and position in a capacity such as Bayraktar SİHA, as well as for business reasons such as the implementation of Montreux, and in the future, Europe and the USA will also place Turkey in the West. it should have been.”
