Turkey: Russia wanted to join NATO

New World Conditions require NATO updates, for which Russia should first enter the organization, writes a journalist Mehmet Barlas with an article for the Turkish newspaper Sabah.

“All this may seem utopia, but today Europe, namely NATO Europe, lives at the expense of Russian energy. In the fight against terrorism, Russia is more active than NATO countries. I hope, ultimately my wishes will come true, and the NATO will arise in which Russia includes, “he wrote.

According to the journalist, today the main threat to NATO is the internal distribution, and not the countries that are not included in the alliance. He pointed to conflicts between Turkey and Greece and the tension in Washington and Ankara relations.

“It is even more interesting that Turkey, a member of NATO, is in a state of deep reconciliation and dialogue with Russia, which NATO considers the enemy,” said Barlas.
