In a scandalous statement of support for Turkey, as the crucial sanctions summit is underway, its Secretary-General NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, presenting the turmoil in the Eastern Mediterranean as an important “ally”.
In a joint statement with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa, Jens Stoltenberg said: “I think the allies understand that Turkey is an important ally as it borders Iraq and Syria.” “And he played a key role in the fight against ISIS and the liberation of ISIS-controlled territory in Iraq and Syria.”
More or less he mentioned that Turkey raises the majority -proportionally- of the refugee (without any reference to Greece), while he stressed that it is the country that has suffered the most terrorist attacks (!): “Turkey is also the ally that hosts the largest number of refugees, around 4 million, and Turkey is also the ally that has suffered the most terrorist attacks.».
“So there are differences, there are disagreements and we have to deal with them.” At the same time, we must make sure that we understand the importance of Turkey as a member of NATO and as part of the Western family. “
Finally, Jens Stoltenberg emphasized, “the The situation in the Mediterranean is difficult and the allies have expressed their concern. (…) NATO is an area in which we speak openly when there are differences and disagreements between allies, as we see in the Eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, I believe that we should all look for positive approaches, ways to manage differences and here in NATO we have developed a disengagement mechanism between Greece and Turkey to reduce the risk, for example, of an accident between two NATO member countries. . , when we see a greater military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean».
