The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, NATO has strongly condemned Russian incursions into Turkish airspace, describing it as an “extreme danger” and demanded that Russia stops all attacks against the Syrian opposition and civilians.

NATO called a meeting of ambassadors of its 28 member states on Monday for an emergency meeting to respond to what Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg called “unacceptable violations of Turkish airspace”.

“[We] strongly protest these violations of Turkish sovereign airspace and condemn these incursions into and violations of NATO airspace. [We] also note the extreme danger of such irresponsible behaviour,” NATO said after the emergency meeting.

John Kerry said his country was “greatly concerned” about the incursion over the weekend.

“We are greatly concerned about it because it is precisely the kind of thing that, had Turkey responded … it could have resulted in a shootdown, and it is precisely the kind of thing we warned against,” Kerry said during a visit to Chile.
