Global attention in the coming days will be focused on the NATO Summit in Ankara, where continued support for Ukraine will be one of the key items on the agenda. At the same time, Allied leaders will concentrate on increasing defense investment, strengthening the defense industrial base, and expanding defence production in line with the current security environment. For this reason, the program will also feature the NATO Summit Defence Industry Forum, dedicated to enhancing the Alliance's defense industrial capacity.
In an interview with Ukrinform, Kadir Temiz, President of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (ORSAM) in Ankara, PhD, and international relations expert, discusses expectations for the NATO Summit, Türkiye's role within the Alliance and its potential as a mediator in efforts to end Russia's war against Ukraine, global transformations in the security landscape, the prospects for U.S.-Iran negotiations, and China's growing influence in shaping the emerging international order.
DISCUSSION OF UKRAINE AT THE NATO SUMMIT WILL GO FAR BEYOND THE WAR ITSELF
- Mr. Temiz, Türkiye is hosting the NATO Summit this week. One of the key items on the agenda is continued support for Ukraine. What are your expectations for the Summit, and what outcomes do you believe the Allies should achieve?
