Nato 'in strong solidarity with Turkey' - Stoltenberg

Nato is holding an emergency meeting in Brussels to discuss Turkey's military campaign against the Islamic State (IS) group and Kurdish militants.

Turkey was until recently a reluctant partner in the US coalition against IS, but over the past few days it has bombed IS and Kurdish positions.

Turkey is also backing plans for a buffer zone on the border with Syria.

Opening the meeting, Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said: "It is right and timely that we hold this meeting today to address the instability on Turkey's doorstep and on Nato's border."
