BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu defended NATO on Monday following criticism of the 70-year-old alliance from the United States and France.

French President Emmanuel Macron said last week that NATO was dying, comments German chancellor Angela Merkel rejected as drastic, and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the alliance to change or risk becoming obsolete.
