Agreement on NATO involvement in the fight against the Islamic State
The leaders of NATO member countries will give this week the green light at the junction of the Atlantic Alliance in the fight against jihadist organization Islamic State (IR) and against human trafficking from the coast of Libya, announced today the Secretary General of the Covenant North Atlantic, the Jens Stoltenberg.
The first measure, which had been unable to reach an agreement, the leaders of the alliance of 28 countries from six months ago, the development of AWACS, the NATO surveillance aircraft in the airspace of Turkey and the Mediterranean, where they will form a bow around Iraq, Syria and Libya.
"We will decide that the AWACS will provide information on the coalition against IK" said Stoltenberg to the press conference at which he presented the program of the meeting of Heads of State and Government of the North Atlantic Treaty, to be held Friday and Saturday in Warsaw.
The US has been calling for months from their partners in the international coalition against IR, but also by NATO, in to do more in the fight against jihadist organization in the territory of Iraq and Syria.
Washington initially called the AWACS Alliance be made available to the international coalition in order to play the role of management centers. These aircraft, equipped with powerful radar can collect data on activity in the air and the ground within a radius of hundreds of kilometers and can play a critical role in air bombing campaigns.
But these AWACS ultimately will be limited to share information with the alliance and only Allied aircraft will take off from the territory of NATO, without violating the airspace of Iraq and Syria.
