NATO concerned by Russia’s growing presence in East Mediterranean

[Test7]

Russia’s growing presence in the Eastern Mediterranean region is a cause for concern for NATO, the military alliance's chief said on Tuesday.

“NATO is also concerned about the increased Russian presence in the eastern Mediterranean in general, in Syria, but also, of course, in Libya. And we have to follow and monitor that very closely,” Jens Stoltenberg said in response to a question in an online news conference ahead of the NATO defense ministers meeting on June 17-18.

He said the situation in Libya was not on the meeting agenda, but could be discussed, adding: “It has a direct impact on the security of especially our southern allies, but actually for the whole of NATO.”

The alliance supports the UN-led efforts in Libya, he stressed, and called for an investigation into the mass graves found in Tarhuna, a city in the country’s northwest recently liberated from warlord Khalifa Haftar’s control.

“The situation in Libya remains extremely difficult, dangerous, and of course, we are deeply concerned about the reports about mass graves and support the UN call for an investigation into that to find out exactly what happened,” the NATO chief noted.

They say. Still they try to slow Turkey in Libya and no help in Syria. Good thing is that we don't rely on Nato here and there.

Indeed. Russia is growing on all of our border and flankes, except on west.

NATO member France is in bed with Russia.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Have they been sleeping?!?!

If Turkey isn’t here, all of the Western Europe will be speaking Russian after 50 years...

Well Macron can complete the circle by giving green light for russian base on french territory
Apparently France sees Russia as more important partner than NATO/West

When the West/ EU sanctioned Russia for the Ukrainian invasion, Turkey continued business as usual with them.Turkey bought S400 from Russia, at least France canceled the Mistral deal.
The betrayer has no high ground to complain about being betrayed in this whole Russian affair.

No, the majority of Turkish imports are energy, western european states are the ones who continue to do business in a high scale with the Russians.

Yes-yes, smarty Europeans, keep leaking American boots and keep shiting on Russia. In near future you will need someone's help, and only USA and Russia are able to do it. Once USA is gone and Russia is full of your shit - noone will help you.

They want it So give them What they want. Russia should enter Ukraine militarily. Why the fk should you have Kaliningrad separated from mother land? Doesnt make any sense to us. Those artificial states such as Latvia, Estonia, etc are being abused by US military. Russian influence among Slav masses is an unseen opportunity. After Soviet collapse they were treated like scums. Now they know the value of their Slav Brothers in the East. This inability of Russia in gathering Slavs together is annoying to be honest.

Do you think Iran trusts Russia or vice versa?

Well someone forgot to mention “events”(or to be more exact hostile acts by western so called-allies against Turkey) in 2014 2015 2016 2017
Another crucial thing is neighborhood
How do you except from Turkey to cancel trade at same level as western europeans who aren’t even bordering Russia
If we consider the population and GDP of Bulgaria Romania Greece Iraq( had war at that time) and others certainly maintaining trade relations with a 150 milion nation who happens to be in top G10 was necessary and logical decision
We are talking here about France and their choice of doing foreign policy that is against Europe
I know you might counter it by saying how Turkey worked closely with Russia in Syria though this lasted briefly and it was direct consequence due to already well known reasons but the blame is on West when they decided to openly support separatism

russian influence will increase and it seems nato will be unable to stop them
