German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, after observing NATO's "Steadfast Defender 2026" military exercise in the Baltic Sea, emphasized Turkey's crucial role in European security and Ankara's position in NATO's defense plans.
According to Oxu.Az, this was reported in Baku TV's video material.
Beyond the political front, there are also significant economic details. Turkey has signed a massive multi-year contract worth $43 billion to purchase approximately $2.115 billion worth of liquefied natural gas annually from the United States until 2045.
The goal is to reduce energy dependence on Russia and strengthen itself as the region's gas hub.
