“Allies call on the Russian Federation to immediately cease its attacks on the Syrian opposition and civilians, to focus its efforts on fighting ISIL [Daesh], and to promote a solution to the conflict through a political transition,” said the statement.

The Allies highlighted that Russian military actions were more dangerous especially since the recent violations of Turkish airspace on Oct. 3 and 4 by Russian Air Force SU-30 and SU-24 aircrafts in the Hatay region.

NATO explained that the Russian aircrafts violated Turkish airspace despite Ankara’s clear, timely and repeated warnings.

Turkey has been a member of NATO since 1952. (T/P001/R04)
