As Russia withdraws from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, the Turkish Foreign Ministry expresses concerns surrounding the European security architecture, emphasising the importance of arms control and disarmament.
"Meaningful implementation of the Treaty by other States Parties has become impossible in practice," says Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs following Russia's decision to withdraw from the CFE Treaty. /Photo: AA
The statement calls for the foundations and fundamental principles of the legally binding CFE treaty which will provide balance, transparency, and predictability among military forces with its numerical limitations and sub-regional system, including the flank regime. Russia formally has withdrawn from a key post-Cold War security treaty designed to de-escalate potential East-West conflicts, in a latest sign of rising tensions between Russia and NATO.
It imposed limits on five key categories of conventional military equipment in Europe — tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, helicopters, and combat aircraft — and mandated the destruction of excess weaponry.
