Turkey Prepared for Third World War

Turkey is prepared for a Third World War, local media reports. The danger of a Third World War is entirely real, said Zeki Aktürk, head of the Ministry of National Defense's press service, commenting on Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan's recent statements about the possibility of global warfare and the use of nuclear weapons.

“If you ask whether there is a comprehensive risk, as there was during the First and Second World Wars, then of course it is possible. As the Ministry of National Defense, we are reviewing the state of the country’s military and security system and updating all our plans if necessary. It can certainly be said that we are among the most prepared (for war) countries,” the minister stated.
