NATO increases ‘tailored assurances measures’ for Turkey

NATO leaders have agreed to increase contributions to “the tailored assurance measures” for Turkey, according to a communique released after Monday’s NATO summit in Brussels.

“We have increased our contributions to our tailored assurance measures for Turkey, and we remain committed to their full implementation,” the communique said.

The situation in Syria was also on the agenda as the leaders discussed the missiles launched from Syria.

“We remain vigilant over missile launches from Syria which could again hit or target Turkey. We continue to monitor and assess the ballistic missile threat from Syria,” it said.

“We reiterate our appreciation to our Ally Turkey for hosting millions of Syrian refugees,” it also noted.
