President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan highlighted that Türkiye’s commitment to protect and preserve its efforts to eliminate terrorism within the country and will not allow those efforts to be undermined, reversed, or sabotaged in order to maintain national security and ensuring that its progress in counterterrorism is not lost.
Speaking at a news conference after a Cabinet meeting in the capital, Ankara, Erdoğan said some actors have been trying to sabotage the initiative.
‘It appears that certain elements both within the country and within the PKK terrorist group are pursuing sabotage efforts aimed at derailing the terror-free Türkiye process, but our state will not fall into these traps,” he told reporters.
Erdoğan also announced that Ankara will host the NATO summit to be held in Türkiye in 2026. He said the summit will take place in July.
“At the 2026 NATO Summit of Heads of State and Government, we will host NATO leaders in our capital, Ankara, and pave the way for the adoption of very important decisions,” Erdoğan said.
