The deputy chairman of the Turkish Vatan (Motherland) party, Ethem Sancak, said that “withdrawal from NATO has become urgent and obligatory,” as “NATO, through its provocations, is forcing us to take these actions.” This was announced today, January 25, by the news agency Verelq.
In this context, the Russian Turkologist Vladimir Avatkov noted:
“Across Turkey, protests for leaving NATO continue. Sweden, however, as noted by its leadership, is still counting on a return to a working dialogue with Turkey on NATO membership. And the United States believes that everything is going well. Everything is natural. Sweden in, Turkey out?
Moreover, Ethem Sandzak predicts the country’s withdrawal from the alliance in the near future. Moreover, he laid the blame for what was happening on Brussels:
“NATO, through its provocations, is forcing us to do so. They are trying to oppose us to our neighbor Greece. Turkey will leave NATO in five or six months. They are trying to drag us into the whirlpool in the Middle East. Finally, you see actions against the Koran in Sweden and the Netherlands.”
Sanjak claims that the latest polls show that the vast majority of the Turkish population considers the United States the main threat, and sympathy for Russia and its leader Vladimir Putinon the contrary, are growing.
Agency EADaily recalls that the Rodina party has long been known for its anti-American statements. Earlier this month, she even initiated the Quit NATO campaign. However, the party is not represented in parliament.
