sounds like NATO has it under control...
Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General:
"We also discussed the situation in Syria. Our ally Turkey is at the forefront of the crisis and has legitimate security concerns. It has suffered horrendous terrorist attacks and it hosts millions of Syrian refugees. NATO has been informed by Turkish authorities about the ongoing operation in northern Syria. It is important to avoid actions that may further destabilise the region, escalate tensions and cause more human suffering."
"I count on Turkey to act with restraint and ensure that any action it may take in northern Syria is proportionate and measured. We must not jeopardise the gains we have made together against our common enemy ISIS. Because ISIS continues to pose a grave threat to the Middle East and North Africa and to all our nations. I will discuss this issue with President Erdogan in Istanbul on Friday."
