In an interview with the British weekly "The Economist", Emmanuel Macron publicly believes that the North Atlantic alliance may not survive the behavior of Turkey in Syria

"What we are experiencing is the brain death of NATO," said Emmanuel Macron to the weekly The Economist published Thursday, explaining by the disengagement from the US vis-à-vis its allies of NATO and the behavior of Turkey, a member of the alliance.

We must "clarify now what are the strategic goals of NATO," said the head of state, pleading again to "muscle" the Defense Europe.
