STAVANGER, Norway (Reuters) --- NATO
will help member country Turkey if needed, the alliance's Secretary-General
Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday, days after Russian jets bombing Syria violated
Turkish airspace.
Asked whether NATO
would be prepared to defend ally Turkey
against Russia , Stoltenberg
said: "Turkey
is a strong ally and they have the second-largest army," he told Reuters.
"They have a
capable air force, so the Turkish armed forces are the first responders, but
NATO is there to help and assist them if they need."
