“As Turkey, we offer safety within the Black Sea. They [the US] shouldn’t flip the Black Sea right into a Center East,” Adm. Ercüment Tatlıoğlu, commander of the Turkish Naval Forces, mentioned at an occasion to mark the institution of a naval faculty.
“That’s the reason we don’t want any nation or NATO to enter the Black Sea,” he added.
