Security is at its highest level in Ankara as the Turkish capital prepares to host the 36th NATO Summit on July 7-8, backed by a massive deployment of 56,000 security personnel. Esenboğa Airport is already bustling with arriving delegations, and strict checkpoints have been established to search vehicles ahead of US President Donald Trump’s expected arrival tomorrow. The city’s main routes have been freshly landscaped and adorned with the flags of all 32 participating nations. Welcoming the global leaders, major boulevards are now lined with banners featuring the summit’s official slogans: “A Common Future in Peace,” “The Key to Security,” and “The Key to Peace.” While military and diplomatic flights currently dominate the airport’s traffic, these intense security protocols will remain in place well after the high-stakes event concludes.
