Erdogan warns of conflict between NATO and Russia
ISTANBUL – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that any possibility of a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO was “worrying,” the official Anadolu news agency reported.
Erdogan's comments came as NATO leaders met in Washington and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was planning “response measures” to contain the “very serious threat” to the alliance.
“The possibility of a direct conflict between NATO and Russia is undoubtedly worrying,” said Erdogan, who is in Washington for the NATO summit.
“Any measure that could lead to this result must be consciously avoided.”

Erdogan spoke a day after NATO allies announced they had begun transferring F-16 jets to Ukraine while stepping up pledges to kyiv about possible alliance membership, at a 75th anniversary summit clouded by political uncertainty in the United States.
On the eve of the summit, Russia fired a salvo of missiles towards Ukraine, killing dozens of people, including in kyiv where a children's hospital was heavily damaged.
Peskov, in comments published by Russian news agencies, said the Western military alliance was now “fully involved in the conflict in Ukraine.”
NATO member Turkey has been seeking to balance relations between its two Black Sea neighbors, Russia and Ukraine, since Moscow's full-scale invasion in 2022.
Ankara has sent drones to Ukraine while avoiding Western sanctions against Moscow.
Last year, Erdogan, whose government is seeking to mediate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, said Ukraine “without a doubt” deserved NATO membership when he met with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“Deeper conflicts”
On Thursday, Erdogan also downplayed the influence of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a regional bloc that Moscow and Beijing have promoted as a counterweight to U.S. dominance.
“We do not believe that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is an alternative to NATO,” Erdogan said.
Turkey has been an SCO dialogue partner since 2012 and Erdogan, who attended the July summit, has hinted in the past that he wants full membership.
Before flying to Washington on Tuesday, Erdogan called for greater NATO involvement in the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Erdogan has previously expressed concern about what he said were Israeli plans to attack Lebanon and on Thursday renewed his warnings about the spread of war.
“Israel's threats and attempts to spread the conflict must stop,” he said.
“Otherwise, our region will face the risk of deeper conflicts, even war.”
