Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday Turkey could invoke NATO’s article 5 to protect its border with Syria.
The article 5 states that an attack on a member constitutes an attack on all members.
“NATO has a responsibility to protect Turkish borders,” Erdogan said during a visit to China.
His remarks came after recently fired shots from Syrian territory into Turkey, which wounded four Syrians and two Turks near a refugee camp.
