BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – NATO expects Ankara to react "proportionately" to the recent terrorist attacks in the country, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Monday.
The statement came following a twin suicide bombing in the Turkish capital of Ankara, in which at least 97 people were killed, on Saturday. The Islamic State militant group is the main suspect in the investigation into the blasts, according to Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"They [Turkey] have seen several terrorist attacks. They have the right to defend themselves, but I of course expect Turkey to be proportionate in the way they respond," Stoltenberg said at a NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Norway.
