All this may seem utopian, but today Europe, namely NATO’s Europe, lives off Russian energy. Written by journalist Mehmet Barlas in an article for the Turkish newspaper Sabah.
The new world conditions require the renewal of NATO, for which Russia must first of all join the organization.
“In the fight against terrorism, Russia is more active than all NATO countries. I hope that in the end my wishes will come true, and NATO will emerge, which includes Russia”, the article says.
According to Barlas, now the main threat to NATO has become internal strife, and not countries that are not members of the alliance. He pointed to the conflicts between Turkey and Greece and tensions between Washington and Ankara.
“What’s even more interesting is that Turkey, a NATO member, is in a state of deep reconciliation and dialogue with Russia, which NATO considers an enemy.”
