NATO condemned Russia’s violation of Turkey’s airspace and urged the Kremlin to coordinate its campaign against Islamic State.

“Russia’s actions are not contributing to the security and stability of the region,” North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in Brussels on Monday. “I call on Russia to fully respect NATO airspace and to avoid escalating tensions with the alliance.”
