NATO’s North Atlantic Council on Tuesday released the following statement on the shooting down of a Turkish fighter jet by Syria:

The North Atlantic Council discussed the shooting down of a Turkish aircraft by Syria. We consider this act to be unacceptable and condemn it in the strongest terms. It is another example of the Syrian authorities’ disregard for international norms, peace and security, and human life.

 

Our thoughts at this difficult time are with the missing Turkish aircrew, their families and their loved ones. We continue to follow the situation closely and with great concern, and will remain seized of developments on the South-Eastern border of NATO.
 
The security of the Alliance is indivisible. We stand together with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity.
