It is time for Turkey to be included in the existing European defense and security mechanisms.

Modern.az reports that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated this during his conversation with journalists after returning from Ethiopia.

Erdoğan noted that Turkey's exclusion from the EU defense architecture is illogical and does not take global realities into account.

He finally stated that the creation of such mechanisms without Ankara's participation would be incomplete, as the Turkish army is one of the largest and most effective armies in NATO.
