NATO Warns Turkey It Won’t Support Ankara in Conflict With Russia

As tensions escalate between Turkey and Russia, NATO has warned Ankara that it will not take part in a war provoked by the Turkish government.

Last November, Turkey shot down a Russian jet flying through Syrian airspace. While many feared that the incident would plunge both countries into war, conflict was avoided, though relations between Moscow and Ankara have remained chilly.

As Turkey pushes to deploy ground forces across its border to remove the legitimate government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Turkish government is, again, threatening the world with war.

"The armed forces of the two states are both active in fierce fighting on the Turkish-Syrian border, in some cases just a few kilometers from each other," one NATO official told Der Spiegel.

Ankara’s aggression seems partially based on the assumption that, should conflict erupt, Turkey will be supported by its NATO allies. According to Article 5 of the NATO treaty, the collective defense clause would be invoked if any member state is attacked.

But European leaders have made it abundantly clear that they have no interest in participating in a war of Turkey’s making.

"NATO cannot allow itself to be pulled into a military escalation with Russia as a result of the recent tensions between Russia and Turkey," Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn told Der Spiegel.

Of Article 5, Asselborn stressed that "the guarantee is only valid when a member state is clearly attacked."

Germany appears to agree.

"We are not going to pay the price for a war started by the Turks," said a German diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.

NATO leadership made similar warnings soon after Turkey’s downing of the Russian bomber last year.

"We have to avoid that situations, incidents, accidents spiral out of control," NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said at the time. "I think I’ve expressed very clearly that we are calling for calm and de-escalation. This is a serious situation."

On Friday, French President Francois Hollande stressed the need to prevent conflict between Moscow and Ankara.

"There is a risk of war between Turkey and Russia," he said in an interview with France Inter radio.

As Turkey calls to escalate the violence in Syria, Russia has called for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to address its concerns over the rising tensions.

"The situation is becoming more tense due to increased tensions on the Syrian-Turkish border and Turkey’s stated plans to send troops to northern Syria," reads a statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry.

US and allies cannot afford a total war if Turkey is getting hand on hand with Russia... The best for Turks is to release tension with Kurdish and concentrate on immediate problem... They can deal with Kurds later....
 
There will be no War - if it would happen - then only Turkey would win, actually the Winners are Russia & USA together - but if there would a War between Russia and Turkey which will not happen - then Turkey would the Faction who will gain here the most of the Profits - Russia´s option to using some "Weapons of mass Destruction" will not happen, if it would happen, then Russia will raise the Internationals behavior which already raging against them since they take a little part Ukraine and playing War !

So in this Case - Turkey has the best Cards in their Hands - and have the will to play them - while all others has no ones left!

Sometimes im asking myself why im here on a Forum and spending my time with some kind of People which are have the will to believe blind anything from Propaganda and Lie Media even it would be very preposterous - then i noticed - Idiots ...

Why Luxembourg is worrying in the first place, they have total of 1000 men army :D I dare Mr. Asselborn come and survive in the Middle Wild East or kindly stfu his big mouth.
 
The Russians don't want war killing it's soldiers, destroying it's economy whilst the west watches on

The Turks could slap putin in his face and the Russians won't do anything

You may as well provide Ancient Aliens as a source.
Not really it is true. The reason why Turkey haven't intervened is because NATO on this hand is supporting Kurds inside Syria and Russia is supporting Assad insider Syria.

They are being trapped in between and fear of losing international support etc.
 
let the Arabs fight the Russians.

we know it's not in our best interest to tango with the bear :pop:

Well, you may end up with very few interests... something like return to the early 1900s :)

Those laws are only for smaller countries and they are not applicable on countries like USA and RUSSIA .... As you can see UNO is biased and they would always favor USA and even ISRAEL ... UNO is simply Blind when it comes to big countries ...
