A week after Turkey downed a Russian warplane, President Barack Obama has reiterated US support for its NATO ally “The United States supports Turkey’s right to defend itself and its airspace and its territory,” he said.
But meeting his Turkish counterpart at climate talks in Paris on Tuesday, Obama also urged the two countries to end their war of words and focus on defeating the common enemy ISIL and bringing about a political resolution in Syria.
