France pulls out of NATO Med operation over Turkey tensions
France is pulling out of a NATO Mediterranean maritime security operation until it gets a response to its concerns over the behavior of fellow member Turkey, according to a French defense official.
“We have decided to temporarily withdraw our assets from the operation Sea Guardian” until France’s concerns are addressed, the official, who asked not to be named, tells reporters.
The decision follows an escalation in tensions with Turkey over the Libya conflict.
