Turkey fulfills its obligations within NATO with both financial and military contributions, Turkish defense minister said in an event in the capital Ankara, Anadolu agency reports.
"We stand behind our obligation both with our financial contributions and the efforts of our hero soldiers," Hulusi Akar said.
Akar also said the efforts of some circles trying to show Turkey’s steps for its security as a proof of disregarding NATO alliance are "unreasonable".
He said Turkey, as a member country, continues to fulfill its obligations within NATO in "the most meaningful and efficient" way.
As a NATO-member-country for nearly 70 years, Turkey sets priorities by acting with allies to eliminate the terrorism threat, he added.
