Turkish Withdrawal from NATO (The Pearl World)

Turkey Withdrawal from NATO occured on June 28, 2020,. Turkey had grown disilussioned with the Alliance and begun shifting its attention to Russia.

Withdrawl Process
In Early 2019, Turkish President Recep Erodgan announced a trade agreement with Russia, detailing how Turkey would lift its sanctions in exchange for weapons. NATO members reacted harshly, including President Donald Trump who called Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erodgan a "Dirty Thief and a Liar." Britian and Germany also announced that it would be taking action against the Turkish Government. The US announced it would be placing sanctions on Turkey, and the Alliance suspended Turkey from the NATO. Turkey retaliated by barring all Americans from entering the country, and expeled almost all diplomats. In 2020, Turkey and the United States agreed that Turkey would formally leave the Alliance, effective June 20, 2020. NATO members approved the decision and Turkey left the Alliance.

Joining the Collective Security Treaty Organization
Turkey joined the Collective Security Treaty Organization the same year, and begun pushing to form a customs union with the Eurasian Union. Turkey began distancing itself from the United States, leading to the Kurds in Turkey escalating their offensive against Turkey. The United States also recognized the newly formed Kurdish Republic's claim over Turkey.
