Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu responded harshly to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who targeted Turkey at the last NATO meeting he attended on behalf of the Donald Trump administration. According to Qadin.Net, this was reported by Haber Global. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has accused Ankara of escalating tensions with its allies in the Mediterranean and giving the Kremlin a kind of gift by buying a Russian-made missile defense system. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu responded to Pompeo, who targeted Turkey off the agenda.
The Turkish minister accused Pompeo of talking to European allies on the phone, creating a front against Turkey, blindly supporting Greece in regional conflicts and refusing to sell Patriot missile defense systems to Ankara. At the same time, Cavusoglu said that at a time when Turkey is fighting ISIS, the United States supports terrorist groups in Syria, and the United States and France have worsened the conflict by supporting Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh.
