NATO to continue to support Turkey, Secretary-General says
by Ed Adamczyk
Washington DC (UPI) Oct 05, 2020

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday that NATO's security interests are synonymous with those of Turkey, and promised the bloc's support.

Stoltenberg noted Turkey's role in counterterrorism after meeting with Turkish Prime Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara on Monday, but on the matter of Turkey's purchase of a Russian-made and NATO-incompatible missile defense system, he added, "Alternative ways of solving this issue should be explored."

Stoltenberg also praised NATO members Turkey and Greece for using diplomatic means to attempt to resolve differences over Mediterranean Sea mineral rights, although Greece has begun enlarging its military force.

Cavusoglu said Turkey would continue to protect its rights in the eastern Mediterranean, but added, "Still, I express my gratitude to NATO for its mediating role."

He also brought up a simmering conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, two former Soviet republics adjacent to Turkey. They are clashing over the breakaway Azerbaijani province of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Turkey backs Azerbaijan, and the United States has been notably silent. There have been reports of deaths, and hundreds of injuries, since fighting erupted on the border last week.

"It is normal for NATO to call for a cease-fire in a balanced way, as well as for a peaceful solution to the problem," Cavusoglu said at a press conference following his meeting with Stoltenberg. "However, everybody, especially NATO, should be present in the call for the resolution of this matter. That is, Armenia should withdraw from there within the framework of international law and the resolutions of the U.N. Security Council."

India's Modi opens tunnel route to tense China border
New Delhi (AFP) Oct 3, 2020
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday opened a Himalayan tunnel that will drastically reduce the time needed to rush troops to the country's remote Chinese border as tensions grow between the Asian neighbours. The tunnel traverses India's northern Himachal Pradesh state and lies on one of two main routes for troops headed to border areas in Ladakh. Twenty Indian and an unspecified number of Chinese troops were killed in June during a deadly clash in Ladakh, which shares a disputed bou ... read more
