Turkish National Defense Ministry marked the seventy fifth anniversary of NATO‘s founding on Thursday.
“Happy 75th anniversary of @NATO, of which we are a distinguished member since 1952,” the ministry wrote on X.
Since becoming a member of the Alliance in 1952, Türkiye will proceed to satisfy all of the duties and missions it has undertaken, and can stay an “active and constructive” member of NATO, it added.
Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg stated, “NATO is bigger, stronger, and more united than ever,” in a speech marking the anniversary.
Since it was based April 4, 1949, in Washington, with 12 founding members, the alliance has expanded to 32 members.
