Turkey’s Erdogan positioned to be Putin ally in NATO


(Worthy News) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could help Russia in multiple ways if he continues to undermine the effectiveness of NATO from within the transatlantic alliance, according to diplomats and analysts.

“He will continue to play a spoiler role within NATO,” Aykan Erdemir, a former Turkish lawmaker at the Washington-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told the Washington Examiner. “That makes him extremely useful to Russia.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin has cultivated a relationship with Erdoğan in recent years, taking advantage of the Turkish leader’s frustration with the U.S. strategy to defeat the Islamic State in Syria by partnering with Kurdish militias that he regards as a terrorist threat. Now Erdoğan seems willing to help Putin in multiple theaters, not only by attacking U.S. partners in Syria but by welcoming two members of the Russian-dominated legislature in Crimea to Istanbul on Sunday.
