NATO calls emergency meeting after Turkey's request
Turkey announced on Friday a double military offensive, one against
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group across the border
in Syria, and the other targeting Kurdish PKK fighters in northern Iraq.
"Turkey requested the meeting in view of the seriousness of the situation after the heinous terrorist attacks in recent days, and also to inform allies of the measures it is taking," NATO said.
"NATO allies follow developments very closely and stand in solidarity with Turkey."
In Article 4, members are encouraged to bring subjects to the table for discussion for political consultation.
Since the alliance's creation in 1949, NATO has been invoked several times, such as by Turkey in 2003 and in 2012, and Poland in 2014.

Russia vetoes UN genocide resolution on Srebrenica
Russia has vetoed a UN resolution that would have condemned the 1995
massacre at Srebrenica during the Bosnian war as a "crime of genocide".
Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin on Wednesday called the UK-drafted text "not constructive, confrontational and politically-motivated," arguing that it unfairly singled out Bosnian Serbs for war crimes.
"The draft that we have in front of us will not help peace in the Balkans but rather doom this region to tension," Churkin told the council meeting that began with a minute of silence to remember the victims.
