Ankara's missions within the framework of NATO are not limited to Afghanistan, a columnist of the opposition Turkish newspaper "Jumhuriyet" is sure. In his opinion, the United States is creating an anti-Russian front, which begins with the Baltic States. In this regard, Erdogan's actions in the Crimea and the Caucasus are not just tactical tasks, they are connected with the front on which Turkey is positioned strategically.
The columnist of the opposition newspaper "Jumhuriyet" Mehmet Ali Guller, drawing attention to the statement adopted following the results of the recent NATO summit, concludes that Ankara's missions within NATO are not limited to Afghanistan and also extend to the Crimea and the Caucasus.
It is emphasized that the importance of these missions is due to the main strategy of the United States against China and Russia.
The United States is creating an anti-Russian front that begins with the Baltic States, covers Eastern Europe and Ukraine, Crimea and the Black Sea and stretches through Georgia to the Caucasus and Afghanistan, and also creates an anti-Chinese front that begins with Afghanistan, covers the South China Sea and reaches South Korea and Japan.
Therefore, Ankara's missions in the Crimea, the Caucasus, and Afghanistan are not just tactical tasks, they are connected with the front on which Turkey is positioned strategically.
