Statement by the North Atlantic Council on incursions into Turkey’s airspace by Russian aircraft
NATO ^ | Last updated: 05 Oct. 2015 17:23 | NATO

Posted on 10/06/2015 6:27:35 AM PDT by WhiskeyX

The North Atlantic Council met today to hold consultations on the potential implications of the recent dangerous military actions of the Russian Federation in and around Syria.

Allies expressed their deep concern with regard to the Russian military build-up in Syria and especially the attacks by the Russian Air Force on Hama, Homs, and Idlib which led to civilian casualties and did not target Da’esh. Allies call on the Russian Federation to immediately cease its attacks on the Syrian opposition and civilians, to focus its efforts on fighting ISIL, and to promote a solution to the conflict through a political transition.

Russian military actions have reached a more dangerous level with the recent violations of Turkish airspace on 3 October and 4 October by Russian Air Force SU-30 and SU-24 aircraft in the Hatay region. The aircraft in question entered Turkish airspace despite Turkish authorities’ clear, timely and repeated warnings. In accordance with NATO practice, Turkish fighter aircraft responded to these incursions by closing to identify the intruder, after which the Russian planes departed Turkish airspace.

Allies strongly protest these violations of Turkish sovereign airspace, and condemn these incursions into and violations of NATO airspace. Allies also note the extreme danger of such irresponsible behaviour. They call on the Russian Federation to cease and desist, and immediately explain these violations.

Allies call on the Russian side to take all necessary measures to ensure that such violations do not take place in the future.

The security of the Alliance is indivisible, and Allies stand in strong solidarity with Turkey. We will continue to follow the developments on the South-Eastern borders of NATO very closely.

Personally, I find it difficult to be too ruffled by the one - and ONLY - power doing anything at all worth mentioning about the Demonic, utterly evil, forces of ISIS/ISIL.

Russis has two responses to achieve - raise the prices on oil and natural gas to Europe. The other response is Europe than you deal with ISIL at your homes!

“Me think NATO/Turkey dost protesteth too mucheth.”

That is to be expected from a Russian sympathizer and/or troll.

Let me know when NATO gets all upset like this when Turkey violates Greek airspace.

This was from July of this year:

Turkish and Greek jets engaged in tense jockeying after Turkey violated Greek airspace

Jeremy Bender

Jul. 16, 2015, 12:26 PM

A formation of Turkish fighter jets violated Greek airspace a total of 20 times on Wednesday before being chased off by Greek aircraft, Kathimerini English reports.

A total of six Turkish fighter jets flying in formation carried out repeated violations of Greek airspace, according to the newspaper, which is one of the most respected in Greece. The reported violations took place in Greek airspace over the north, central, and southern Aegean Sea.

The Middle East is becoming a large pile of explosives on a very short fuse.

This is worrying. Is NATO going to fight Russia on behalf of Muslim Turkey? Not acceptable. Non-Muslims need to act together against the declared enemy — not allow the Muzzies to divide and conquer.

Concur. Its not like anyone seriously thinks that the Russians intend to attack Turkey. So they incurred into their airspace, so? Write a strongly worded letter, or intercept them and escort them out.

The Rusians are targeting s broad array of killer groups operating under the names “ Army of Conquest” and “ islamic Army”

They include Al Qaeda and muslim brotherhood in Syria and yes even the FSA which includes islamic killers and evidence was discovered that this group is the one that used CW on children as a false flag excuse for the West to try to take over Syria

These groups have terrorized locals, killed kidnapped and beheaded
Do these sound like viable rulers for a western installed government ?
Go do some research on what is happened with the war in each site mentioned in the press releases which edit out the name of the targeted groups

Now that speznaz has reportedly gone in to clean up after the bombing the war may get a little quieter and more efficient in some of these towns

Georgia
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania
Bulgaria
Transnistria
Ukraine and Crimea

How many people have to die before you take not Russia and the Caliphate are both enemies towards the United States?
