Pe 21-22 Iulie, la Washington are loc o reuniune importanta a ministrilor apararii din tarile implicate in coalitia anti-ISIS. Aceasta initiativa importanta a fost planificata cu mult timp inaintea puciului militar din Turcia si a evolutiilor ingrijoratoare post-puci.
Desi Turcia este o tara vitala pentru campania militara anti-ISIS, iar Erdogan pretinde ca situatia este acum sub control in tara sa, ministrul turc al apararii nu a mai facut deplasarea la Washington. Reprezentarea prin ambasador nu este nici dorita, nici suficienta pentru reafirmarea angajamentului ferm impotriva organizatiei teroriste ISIS, mai ales dupa incidentele grave de la baza aeriana Incirlik provocate de guvernul lui Erdogan.
Acest semnal nedorit se adauga altora, ce tensioneaza suplimentar relatia Turciei cu SUA.
Iata comunicatul Pentagonului despre discutia telefonica intre ministri american si turc al apararii :
Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook provided the following readout:
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter spoke today by telephone with Turkish Minister of Defense Fikri Işik.
Secretary Carter reiterated the support of the United States for Turkey’s democratically elected civilian government and the rule of law. For his part, Minister Işik expressed his appreciation for the call and assured the secretary that Turkey remains a determined and committed partner and ally in the fight against ISIL and terrorism of all kinds.
The two discussed the importance of operations at Incirlik Air Base to the counter-ISIL campaign.
The minister expressed regret over his inability to attend the counter-ISIL defense ministerial that Secretary Carter is hosting on Wednesday in Washington, but assured the secretary that the Turkish Ambassador to the United States will be in attendance and will be fully empowered to speak for the Turkish government.
The secretary and the minister agreed to keep in touch in the days and weeks ahead.
