A risk of open war between Turkey and Russia (Holland)
(B2) François Hollande directly questioned Turkey for its unclear attitude in the Syrian conflict, in front of the press, at the end of a European summit essentially devoted to the refugee crisis and the United Kingdom. Asking " once again that the bombardments cease”, the French president also warned against " a temptation on the side of Turkey to bombard ". " This is a serious situation because there is an escalation ". There can be " an open conflict while one of its countries is a member of NATO. In other words, a risk of dragging the allies into a conflict, who would then have to come to the support of one of their allies in difficulty or remain silent, which in any case would weaken the Alliance. " Everything must be done to ensure that the Munich talks resume concludes Fr. Holland.
