NATO Emergency meeting in Syria Response talks February 28 19:43
Following tensions between the Assad administration and Turkey in support of the rebels in Syria during the ongoing civil war, Turkey's NATO-North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is a member of Turkey, will hold an emergency meeting of member states on Tuesday. We are open and discussing correspondence.
This was announced by NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg on Thursday, stating that the convening of the emergency meeting was at the request of Turkey.
In Syria, where the civil war continues, the Assad regime's troops have frequently clashed with troops stationed in Turkey to support the rebels by reinforcing their offensive in the northwestern Idlib province, the last rebel base. According to the announcement, troops were killed in the early morning of the 28th by an airstrike by Assad's government.
In response, senior Turkish government officials had been in talks with NATO's Secretary-General Stoltenberg and United States Deputy President O'Brien over the phone.
For the first time in Turkey, more than 30 soldiers have died in an attack by the Assad administration, and it has been watched if Turkey will launch a major military operation against the Assad administration in the future.
It is probable that NATO's emergency meeting, after receiving reports from Turkey, is discussing measures to reduce the situation.
