Evaluation Note/ Haldun Yalçınkaya
Turkey’s NATO membership has been questioned in the international media, as well as a vast array of social media accounts. If one were to go by these comments alone, it would appear as though Turkey’s exit from NATO was imminent. Moreover, the words coming from France goes beyond that that NATO is in brain death! However, there is a real world beyond the narratives and reality shows us the contrary. Bluntly speaking, the field operations, some of which are listed above, and the mechanism of the alliance, tell us that the cooperation between Turkey and NATO is continuing without interruption. Actions should speak louder than words.
