Erdogan calls on NATO to be more active against new threats

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on NATO to do more to fight the threat of global terrorism, saying the alliance needed to "update" itself to better adapt to new security.

"The concept of a security threat is undergoing a serious change. In this process, NATO needs to be more active and has to update itself against the new security threats," Reuters cited him as saying.

"As a NATO country, we want fellow members not to forget about Turkey," he added.
