Turkey has demanded backing from its Nato allies over the shooting down of one
of its planes and has called a meeting in Brussels under Article 4 of the
alliance’s charter, which provides for consultations when a member state
feels its territorial integrity or security is under threat.
Turkey has rejected assertions from Damascus that its forces had no option but
to fire on the F-4 jet as it flew over Syrian waters close to the coast on
Friday and has branded the shooting an “act of aggression”. It
says the aircraft was an unarmed reconnaissance plane flying over
international waters.
