Turkey has withdrawn its troops from a NATO military drill in Norway after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Friday that his name and the picture of Turkish Republic’s founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk were used in an "enemy chart”, APA reported citing Anadolu Agency.
"There was an incident in Norway," Erdogan told ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party members in capital Ankara.
"They used an enemy chart in Norway. In that chart, there was my name and Ataturk's picture."
"They told me that they are withdrawing our 40 soldiers from Norway," Erdogan said.
"I told them to do that immediately. There can be no alliance like that," he said.
NATO fired a military officer who used pictures of Atatürk and Turkish President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan in an “enemy chart” during a drill in Norway, Hurriyet daily news reported.
