Is Turkey exiting NATO? Turkey’s rift with NATO members may lead to its exit

 Turkey is once again in the news for disrupting balance in NATO and despite the warning that the country and its government is facing, it continues to poke the western alliances. Recent reports suggest that Ankra might exit from NATO.

Earlier, the Vice President of United States Mike Pence also warned Turkey in April 2020 regarding the purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system. He had said that if it goes ahead with the deal, it might end up losing NATO membership. "Turkey must choose: does it want to remain a partner of the most successful military alliance in the history of the world? Or do they want to risk the safety of this partnership by making reckless decisions that threaten our alliance?" We have made it clear that we will not stand by while NATO allies buy weapons from our adversaries, weapons that threaten the very cohesion of this alliance," Pence said.

Turkey was seen getting more and more involved in Russia. It had sent one of its military personnel to Moscow to learn how to operate the new surface-to-air missile system. This operation started in 2019 and during the coming year, it further finalised deals that led to Turkey occupying Russian military equipment.

Even last year NATO faced a challenge from Ankara when it stood against several of the other NATO allies when the third party was trying to diffuse the matter. This severely impacted the image of NATO and undermined the organisation's cohesion and ability to make a solid, collective decision.

Ankara’s outlook of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue also created a lot of disturbance in the West especially given the fact that it blatantly supported one of the countries involved against the other, further igniting the point of concern. But the support was not restricted on the political level but was extended to equipment and human assistance.

During the France killing and attacks, Turkey continually contradicted the stand of French President Emmanuel Macron and supported the extremism practiced in the name of religion. All of these incidents led to souring of its relationship with other NATO members.

Another point of difference between Turkey and other NATO members is its excessive interest in Mideitarranean. European side has time and again warned Turkey of carrying out its search practices in the controversial region but that has not stopped the Erdogan government from serving its interests.

Erdogan has also threatened Europe with the invasion of Syrian migrants and refugees who have crossed the border from Greece and entered the territories of Italy, Spain and Germany. Other than this, terror group, the Muslim Bortherhood is supported by Erdogan. The Turkish government is acting as one of the main sponsors of Muslim Brotherhood and supporting the terror actovties all around the world. There also has been incidents of stabbings, beheadings and violence by those who compare Sultan Erdogan to Mohamed II.

Israeli settlers have once again attacked religious minorities in the region, this time targeting a church in East Jerusalem.

  According to reports, the settlers assaulted clerics and worshippers at the Church of the Sepulchre of Saint Charbel, causing damage to the property and injuring several people. This kind of behavior is not only unacceptable but also undermines efforts to promote peace and stability in the region. Attacks on religious minorities are a direct attack on religious freedom and must be condemned by all. The Israeli authorities must take swift action to bring the perpetrators to justice and hold them accountable for their actions. It is also important to ensure the safety and protection of religious minorities and their places of worship, as guaranteed by international law. this incident is a sad reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region and the need for a comprehensive and just solution. It is up to all of us to work together to promote understanding, tolerance, and respect for different beliefs and cultures, and to build a brighter and more peaceful future for all.
