We expect concrete help from all our allies. NATO is in a critical process in which it should clearly show the solidarity of the Alliance,”, Erdogan said after meeting NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
He said that official Ankara wants NATO to fully implement decisions made in 2012 and 2015 to support the Turkish Air Force.
Erdogan came to the European Union headquarters following the decision to open Turkish borders for migrants and refugees on its territory to force European countries to support Turkish political and humanitarian solutions in Syria.
There are 3.6 million Syrian refugees in Turkey.
Nearly a million people in the Syrian province of Idli b in the northwest of the country fled towards the Turkish border following an attack by Russia-backed Syrian Air Force, placing Ankara under pressure.
Turkey lost more than 50 troops in Syrian forces in Idlib in February.
