Turkey's PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Ankara could seek NATO's help
in case the Syrian troops violate Turkish borders again, Russian Ria
Novosti quotes Turkish PM as saying in China.
"We have many options. A country has rights born out of international
law against border violations. Also, NATO has responsibilities to
do with Turkey's borders, according to Article 5," added Erdogan,
whose country is a NATO member.
According to Reuters Article 5 of the NATO treaty declares that an
armed attack against one of its members will be considered an attack
against all members and allows for the use of armed force. It has
been invoked only once, following the September 11, 2001, attacks on
the United States.
