NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that NATO was ready to defend and protect Turkey if required.
Replying a question about Syrian crisis during a press conference on Monday, Rasmussen repeated NATO’s commitment to support Turkey.
It would be surprising if a defense alliance like NATO did not have a plan to protect its all allies including Turkey, said Rasmussen.
Noting that NATO did not take any demand about putting Patriot missile launcher along Turkish-Syrian border, Rasmussen said that if asked, NATO member states would have to assess the demand.
