The United States and its NATO allies denounced Russia on Monday for violating Turkish air space along the frontier with Syria, and Ankara threatened to respond if provoked again, raising the prospect of direct confrontation between the Cold War enemies.
NATO held an emergency meeting of ambassadors of its 28 member states to respond to what Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called "unacceptable violations of Turkish air space" after Turkey said a Russian jet had crossed its frontier.
NATO members "strongly protest" and "condemn" incursions into Turkish and NATO territory, the alliance said.
"Allies also note the extreme danger of such irresponsible behavior. They call on the Russian Federation to cease and desist, and immediately explain these violations," it said in a statement released after the meeting in Brussels.

If ya don't like it, do something about it, tough guys.
How’s the weather in St. Petersburg today?
So has Turkey been flying over Syrian airspace? Maybe to bomb the Kurds?
I’m waiting for Russia to declare Syria’s airspace off-limits to Turkey. That’s probably the other shoe waiting to drop.
Your shill trolls are on the job today, George.
This threat is pure bullsh@t. Know any French or British who are willing to get themselves killed to “defend Turkish air space?” We don’t. They won’t even defend their own villages against the islamonazi invasion. Europe ( excepting a couple nations like Hungary perhaps) is a lost cause - sold out by rheir ruling elite (like in USA ) to the islamonazis.
The NATO tough guys in Brussels would have already acted but for having to pray five times a day.
The Kurds are hoping you are right, but they've been screwed by the US and NATO regularly before.
Putin had better watch out, he’s been denounced by the NATO yellow bellies.
I’m afrid that you’re right.
On their Turkish prayer rugs, no doubt
NATO/Europe = Paper Tiger
Yeah, violence between Russia and Turkey would take care of two problems for us.
