Erdogan – Turkey’s security begins in Nakhchivan

President Erdogan today made quite an important political statement that the issue of national security. In particular, he made it clear that national security issues are not inside, but outside. One  of the places where this issue is resolved, he called Nakhchivan – the  Azerbaijani region bordering with Turkey.  "We must destroy the threat against Turkey in the bud. We should not forget  even for a minute that the Turkish security  begins not  in the provinces of Gaziantep, Hatay, Kars and Artvin,  but in the Syrian Aleppo and Idlib, in Cyprus, in Nakhchivan, Batumi, in the Balkans," said the President, speaking in Ankara.   Erdogan said that the forces, which can not openly challenge Turkey, try to act surreptitiously. "It is interesting that those who had no shame, accuse Turkey of refusal to deal with LIH today require Ankara to stop the anti-terrorist operations in the region. Ankara advised not to send troops to Syria further than 20 kilometers inland. However, no matter what anyone said, we will continue to go on its way," quotes Erdogan the  Anadolu Agency. -02D-
