NATO Split: Germany Wants to Withdraw Patriot Missiles From Turkey

Military expert of the German CSU party Florian Hahn called for the withdrawal of German Patriot missiles from Turkey due to attacks carried out by the government forces against the Kurds, DWN reported.

The expert believes that Germany and Turkey have less and less in common due to attacks of the Turkish forces against the Kurds in northern Iraq.

This signifies the first split inside NATO, which earlier decided to lend military support for its member, Turkey, the German newspaper wrote.

Taking into account activities of the Turkish forces against Kurds in northern Iraq, Florian Hahn called for withdrawal of the German soldiers from Turkey. He also said that NATO Patriot air defense systems are no longer necessary for the protection of Turkey and their deployment has been serving as a "symbolic sign of our allegiance."

"Given the current developments, we need to thoroughly rethink this deployment," the expert said.
The Bundeswehr has stationed one of its Patriot defense systems about 100 kilometers from the Syrian border. It was designed to protect the country against potential attacks from its neighbor.
Hahn criticized Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for his denunciation of the peace process with the Kurds.

"With his attacks against the Kurds, Erdogan has once again demonstrated that Turkey and Germany are pursuing less and less common goals," the CSU politician said.

On Monday, NATO decided to support Turkey in its fight against Islamic State. However, Turkey has used the chaos to launch missions against the Kurds in northern Iraq and alleged Kurdish fighters on Turkish soil, DWN reported.

Obviously this has nothing to do with any "moral" or "principled" stance taken by the Germans, they don't have any (neither does Turkey), but splitting NATO would be great.

I couldn't find "politician" in the article. It is an "expert" who has an opinion. Sputnik is a Russian news outlet similar to PressTV. Not to be taken serious at all times. Anyway, even if some politicians request that, it would clash with US interests. The reason the patriot is there is to protect Incirlik if you look where it is located.

lol, I was making a point about that.....

And yes, even if Angela Merkel requested to remove the Patriot, they can't, it does not belong to Germany anymore, it belong to NATO.

A lot of delusion people in this thread lol

There are no way Turkey leave NATO nor NATO abandon Turkey, that is NOT going to happen.

People (mostly Pakistani) on this thread need to realise, if Turkey have to choose between NATO/Europe and Middle East/Asia Minor, they will choose Europe any given day.

It is not even close to Day Dreaming to see Turks leaving NATO.

And you expect most people to understand that. It's just a transformation or consider it like the menstrual period of a girl. Turkish nation has to wait until AKP passes..
And our people mostly public is so emotional reasoning bloody past. If we had a non-emotional approach on state affairs, even AKP would suceed. BTW its off topic lol.

With Turkey's connections to ISIS, of course germany will not want to deal with a country like that.
