Today (26/6/12) NATO have been meeting to discuss the shooting down of a Turkish military jet on Friday (22/6/12) by Syria. The meeting was held under article 4 of the Washington Treaty to determine if the incident was enough to trigger article 5 which is NATO's mutual defense pact.
I'll try and write up the meeting in more detail later but as the meeting lasted less then two hours I think it's fair to say the Turks were given short shrift.
