Turkey's a NATO member. If Turkey gets attacked, we have to help defend Turkey.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
That is one of the reasons why we advocate for good relations between the two countries. Turkey understands the needs of the region.
Turkey has worked alongside its allies from the beginning.
Turkey knows the importance of its ties with Israel; it knows it's in the same moderate camp with Israel, the moderate Palestinians and other Muslim countries, and the threat to Turkey is not from us.
Turkey can be a bridge to regimes and actions the United States can't reach. Turkey can talk to people the United States can't talk to.
As the United States shapes and carries out its policies toward Muslim countries, it should do so with Turkey at its side.
Turkey is a European country, an Asian country, a Middle Eastern country, Balkan country, Caucasian country, neighbor to Africa, Black Sea country, Caspian Sea, all these.
With the backdrop of its geostrategic location and historical ties with the Middle East, Turkey has an essential role to play for the stability, peace and social development of the region.
If one has problems with immigrant communities in Europe, that should not be used against Turkey.
I appreciate cooperation with Turkey on many issues. We are grateful for the support we receive for E.U. and NATO integration for Montenegro.
We are convinced that Turkey would be a useful member of the European Union.
