Take a look at the number of Syrian refugees each country hosts, compare it to their population and GDP if you feel like it.
Turkey have many problems dealing with its minorities, neighbours, even its own citizens, sure - but on this issue, maybe its time to get off your high horse, before calling any country nefarious. Are we really worse than Spain, worse than France, worse than UK? Why do they have a say in it without helping the problem in the slightest?

- jbob2000 7y agoNATO was formed as a deterrence against Russian aggression. To then buy weapons from them is a pretty big conflict of interest.
- ceejayoz 7y agoDepends a bit on whether those weapons have internet access. We used to pay people handsomely to get our hands on Russian weaponry to play with.

- remarkEon 7y agoNATO's charter isn't "refugee caretaker of the world". It's a mutual defense pact. I'm not interested in playing word games around who is the most humanitarian country (Turkey would lose that one anyway) - I asked a specific, strategic question about what benefit Turkey adds to the rest of NATO alliance members.
