Turkey to Host NATO Summit as AK Party Marks 25th Anniversary

AK Party General Secretary Eyyüp Kadir İnan announced on social media that Turkey will host one of NATO's most important summits, linking the event to the party's 25‑year milestone. He credited the hosting to the party's democratic reforms, defence‑industry expansion and a broader foreign‑policy vision, saying, "Our country's hosting of one of NATO's most important summits is the natural result of 25 years of strong foreign policy and leadership."

İnan also dismissed criticism from foreign media, referencing a Financial Times article, and reaffirmed Turkey's growing strategic influence on the global stage.
