Turkey might launch offensive against Syria, report says

[Major Shaitan Singh]

Now Lebanon - Turkish officials informed several western powers that Ankara might launch a military operation in northern Syria in an attempt to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad’s Baath Party, Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah reported on Monday.

“Turkey informed Britain, France, Italy, Germany and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) leadership of the possibility that it would launch an offensive in… Aleppo, Homs, Hama and Latakia,” the daily quoted unnamed British officials as saying.

The daily also quoted a Lebanese diplomat in Ankara as saying that “Turkish officials fear the possibility of the Syrian army committing mistakes on its borders, which might oblige the Turkish army to cross the Syrian border.”

“The Turkish armed forces are on alert along the Syrian borders,” As-Seyassah added.

Earlier in June, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Damascus of perpetrating an “atrocity” against anti-regime demonstrators, the harshest remark yet in Ankara’s criticism of a deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests sweeping Syria since March.

This is redicilous, Just Block any import and export and the army will stand still eventually and then Just give some rebels weapons and the army will pay for what they did. No need for spending billions of dollars.

+1. Will. never. happen.

Dont' forget Erdogan was educated in the Turkish equivalent of a madrassa. And its not a Wahhabi madrassa either. No doubt Turkey is sending a few mixed signals to confuse its enemies, but in the end, there will be no war, ever. Turkey has set its sights on improving ties with Iran.
