This Aspiring NATO Member Risks Paying the Price for Turkey’s Row With Europe

Published on

Turkey blocked several NATO projects related to military training in a move targeted at Austria which is taking part in the bloc’s Partnership for Peace program but is not a member of the alliance. Ankara’s decision, however, is expected to have wider implications, including the risk of blocking NATO’s cooperation with partner nations.

Azhdar Kurtov, the editor-in-chief of the “National Strategy Issues” magazine, singled out Georgia, an aspiring NATO member since 2011, as the country that could be badly affected by a diplomatic row between Turkey and Austria.

“Turkey could block NATO’s cooperation with Georgia,” Kurtov told Izvestiya. “As long as Tbilisi is not a NATO member, Ankara will have enough leverage to pressure the Georgian leadership in the context of the bilateral relationship. The Turks also understand that establishing a NATO base on Georgian territory would become a red flag for Russia. Ankara has been lately intent on improving relations with Moscow.”

Tbilisi has long expressed its wish to join the US-led military bloc, much to Russia’s discontent. Earlier this year, Georgian Chief of General Staff Vladimir Chachibaia was

Meanwhile, Turkey has been engaged in a war of words with several European nations, notably Germany, the Netherlands and Austria, for preventing high-ranking Turkish officials from taking part in political rallies aimed at mobilizing support for President Recep Tayyip’s constitutional reform ahead of the referendum on the issue.

Ankara’s spat with Vienna predates recent tensions. Last year, Austrian officials were among some of the most vocal opponents of continuing European Union membership talks with Turkey after Erdogan’s purge following the unsuccessful July coup. However, defense analyst Victor Litovkin told Izvestiya that Turkey’s row with Europe would not affect the bilateral relationship.

“Turkey could be engaged in ‘blackmailing.’ However, the conflict between Ankara and European capitals is temporary. It is not fundamental in its nature,” he said.
