NATO does not have a mandate on stabilizing the situation in Iraq, where militants from the al-Qaeda-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) seized several crucial areas, NATO press service cited Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen as saying.
"I don't see a role for NATO in Iraq. And we don't have a mandate or request on Iraq," Rasmussen said, adding that the Alliance was closely following the developments in the country.
NATO ambassadors held an emergency meeting on June 11, at which Turkey briefed the other allies on the developments in the Iraqi city of Mosul and the situation with captured Turkish diplomats.
"We urge the hostage takers to release the hostages immediately," Rasmussen said.
