NATO envoys to discuss downing of Turkish jet
None
Turkey will brief NATO's governing body on the downing by Syria of a Turkish reconnaissance plane over the Mediterranean Sea. Officials and diplomats say the discussions on Tuesday will be held under Article 4 of NATO's founding treaty, which allows a NATO member, in this case Turkey, to request consultations if its security has been threatened.
Diplomats and officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said ambassadors will discuss Turkey's concerns and would likely condemn the downing, but refrain from stronger action. (AP)
