Fortune Greece magazine, dedicated to the business world of Greece, noted about peace negotiations that is planned to be held on May 15 in Istanbul between the USA, Russia and Ukraine: “(President Recep Tayyip Erdogan) Erdogan is one of the few leaders that can organize it.”
The article “Fortune Greece” is widely covered by the achievements of Turkey in the defense industry.
The journal provides a statement by the chairman of the Baykar Board of Baykar Selchuk Bayractar after successful tests of Bayraktar TB3 on the TCG Anadolu ship: “As we once ruled the seas, and today, being descendants of Barbaros Hairethtin-Pasha, we opened the doors to the New World, entering the New Aviation Aviation Aviation on such a strategic aviation in such a strategic aviation in such a strategic direction, like unmanned aerial vehicles. “
The article says that the military successes of NATO Member Turkey are impressive at a time when Europe needs this, because the Alliance needs a well -armed ally on the southern flank to protect him from Russia’s audit policy.
reminding that Turkey and Europe have been talking in different languages for many years, and the process of joining the EU has been frozen, the author of the article quotes an unnamed Western diplomat: “The role of Turkey as a strategically important country in the light of the indifference of US President Donald Trump to NATO and European security makes close cooperation with the European Union (EU) inevitable.”
The article indicates that against the backdrop of the growing military and diplomatic influence of President Erdogan, the parties proposed a meeting of representatives of the United States, Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul.
“This meeting could never take place, but Erdogan is one of the few leaders who can organize this. He maintains good relations with US President Donald Trump as part of a balanced approach. As for the Ukrainian issue, Turkey maintains trade and diplomatic relations with Moscow, despite the provision of military assistance to Kyiv.”
The author notes that Turkey’s military weight, which President Erdogan considers as an instrument for the resumption of EU membership negotiations, is also not in doubt.
The Turkish army controls the paths to the Black Sea, having 355 thousand military personnel, the Turkish armed forces are one of the largest forces on the European side of the NATO alliance.
“So far, Europe is fighting for maintaining the forces of deterrence in the amount of 30 thousand soldiers in Ukraine, an effective peacekeeping mission can be quickly created if the Turkish army, which is structured for national defense and has experience in participating in foreign missions as Libya and Somalia, agrees to take part in them,” the journal says.
“The Turkish defense industry is developing. While European countries are trying to supply Ukraine and replenish their own military reserves, armored vehicles, warships, drones and ammunition are massively produced in Turkey, mainly from Turkish materials,” the journal writes.
