Nato to discuss Syria attack on Turkish aircraft
Turkish officials say the jet was on a training flight on Friday when it strayed into Syrian airspace, but was in international airspace when it was shot down. The consultations will focus on Article 4 of Nato’s founding Washington Treaty.
Syria said its forces had shot dead “terrorists” infiltrating its territory from Turkey, which along with Western and Arab nations has backed the cause of Syrians fighting President Bashar al-Assad.
