Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan urged for NATO to address Russia’s amendments to its nuclear policy, while also saying he disagreed with the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to carry out a strikes deep inside Russia. “There is no positive aspect to conflicts involving nuclear arms. NATO officials must consider Russia’s actions and reassess them,” Erdoğan said at a press conference during the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Warning of the dangers of Ukraine’s most Nov. 19 long-range missile attack on Russia he termed “These developments are far from positive,” and explained that “Russia’s statement seems to be a precautionary move against conventional threats aimed at it. Russia possesses the capability and measures to defend itself. Being a NATO country, we too have the duty to protect ourselves and take necessary actions.”
