Joi seara, la Ankara, o intalnire de importanta strategica regionala si continentala a avut loc.

Secretarul General al NATO Jens Stoltenberg s-a intalnit cu presedintele Turciei, Recep Tayip Erdogan.

Dupa lovitura de stat condamnata de NATO, Turcia s-a focusat – in plan extern – pe reluarea unei relatii deteriorate cu Rusia si pe epurarea masiva – pe plan intern – a sustinatorilor predicatorului Fettulah Gulen.

Grija aliatilor pentru alunecarea Turciei spre autoritarism si islamism este pentru moment temperata de vizita inaltului demnitar aliat.

On Thursday evening, the Secretary General met with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to discuss Turkey’s contributions to the Alliance’s shared security – including in Afghanistan, in the fight against ISIL, and in NATO’s efforts to stop human trafficking in the Aegean Sea.

NATO continues to stand in solidarity with Turkey, with increased naval and air presence, and with defensive missile systems on the border with Syria, Mr Stoltenberg said.

The Secretary General also reiterated NATO’s condemnation of the recent coup attempt, expressing condolences for those who lost their lives, and respect for the courage of the Turkish people. “Any attack on democracy, in any of our countries, is an attack on the very foundation of our Alliance. A strong and democratic Turkey is essential for the stability and security of Europe and the region,” he said.

On Friday, Mr. Stoltenberg will meet with Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, Defence Minister Fikri Işık and other senior officials.

Interesant este ca efortul spatiului civilizatiei occidentale de a mentine Turcia de partea sa are loc si din partea UE. Inaltul reprezentant pentru politica externa si securitate al UE, Federica Mogherini este si ea in acelasi timp la Ankara cu Secretarul General al NATO.
