Turkey,
a member of NATO and strategically located at the intersection of East
and West, has been a long-time military ally of western nations. But now
- in a surprise move - it's turning to Russia to reinforce its defense
systems.
Ankara’s negotiations with Moscow to acquire Russian S-400 missiles have raised questions in the West.
As conflicts continue in the region, is Turkey actually preparing a shift in its defense posture? Or - is the Erdogan administration instead being let down by NATO at a crucial time when the Middle East is plagued by instability? Is Turkey feeling threatened? And if so - by whom?
We'll discuss all this with a key member of the Turkish government -- as Defense Minister Fikri Isik Talks to Al Jazeera.
