Washington, Nov 25: NATO member Turkey has the right to defend its own airspace, US President Barack Obama said on Tuesday after Turkish forces shot down a Russian fighter jet on its border with Syria.

"Turkey, like every country, has a right to defend its territory and its airspace," Obama said at the White House during an appearance with French President Francois Hollande.
