The North Atlantic Council, which includes ambassadors from all NATO nations, will meet July 28 after Turkey requested a meeting to discuss its crackdown on militant groups and jihadists, the military alliance said.
The meeting will be held under Article 4 of the NATO treaty, which says any member can request talks whenever its territorial integrity, political independence or security is threatened, according to a statement on the organization’s website Sunday.
“Turkey requested the meeting in view of the seriousness of the situation after the heinous terrorist attacks in recent days, and also to inform allies of the measures it is taking,” NATO said.
Separately, the state-run Anadolu Agency said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone on Sunday about issues including Syria. The call was initiated by Erdogan, the agency said.
Two soldiers were killed and four wounded in a car bomb in southeast Turkey, while in the west, an unidentified group attacked public buses and a bomb exploded in front of the provincial office of the ruling AK Party, Anadolu said on Sunday.
Suicide Bomber
The incidents are the latest in a cycle of violence that began when a suicide bomb killed at least 32 people, mostly young pro-Kurdish activists, near the Syrian border on July 20. Authorities have said Islamic State was probably behind it.
Turkey responded by bombing the group’s positions in Syria, as well as launching air strikes against Kurdish PKK rebels in northern Iraq. A fourth air operation in northern Iraq, targeting the PKK, was conducted on Sunday, the Hurriyet newspaper reported on its website.
The Turkish military has canceled all holidays for officers in “crucial regions,” while those already on leave were called back, Hurriyet reported, without citing a source. The order applies to Turkey’s second and third military divisions as well as “anti-terror units in western provinces,” the newspaper said.
Security forces have detained at least 590 people across Turkey on grounds that they were members of terrorist organizations, including the PKK and Islamic State, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters in Ankara on Saturday. Military and police operations would continue, he said.
