NATO AWACS surveillance jets to fly over Turkey against ISIL
NATO leaders agreed 9 July on a set of decisions to project stability beyond the Alliance’s borders, including starting a new training and capacity building effort in Iraq and the use of AWACS surveillance aircraft on the Turkish sky to support the strikes by the coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).“To the south we see failed and failing states. And millions left homeless and hopeless by terrorist groups like ISIL,” NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg told a news conference on day two of the NATO Summit. “This instability has a direct impact on our societies. The scale of the challenge demands that we take action.” Posted by: Steve White 2016-07-10 |
