15:45Now PlayingNATO leaders are gathering in Ankara (July 7–8) for a summit at a critical moment for the alliance. Russia's war against Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, and pressure to strengthen Europe's defences have made Turkey more important to NATO than it has been in years. For President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, hosting the summit is a major diplomatic opportunity – but it comes amid an unprecedented domestic crackdown on the opposition. Our correspondent Julia Hahn reports on what Erdogan stands to gain, and why, for many allies, security concerns may be overshadowing democratic ones.
The video also features analysis from Bradley Bowman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Ian Lesser of the German Marshall Fund on Turkey's role and influence within NATO.
