Turkey this week implied that it would not hesitate to take military action in northern Syria against Kurdish groups that have gained some measure of autonomy amid the instability, but many observers have warned this would be very dangerous for Turkey.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s threats were taken seriously across the international community, especially since it has carried out similar cross-border attacks against Iraq’s Kurds it suspected of cooperating with Turkey’s Kurdish separatists (PKK), long deemed terrorists by Ankara.
“If you implement a hot pursuit against the PKK militias in northern Syria, the government in Syria will react very differently from the Iraqi government,” Osman Bahadir Dincer of the Ankara-based USAK thinktank told AFP.
Despite the Syrian regime’s troubles as of late, Turkish military action in Syria risks a harsh retaliation by the Assad regime and from Syria’s powerful allies.
“If Turkey brings soldiers onto Syrian soil by itself and not as part of an international operation, it would be an open provocation to Russia and Iran,” said Cengiz Candar of the daily Radikal newspaper. Unilateral action against Syria could suck Turkey into conflict with Assad, worsen the internal conflict in Syria, and aggravate the Kurdish tensions in Turkey.
"If Turkey follows up on its threats, it could be pulled into a conflict with the Assad regime, Russia, and Iran”…., there is no IF here John.., Turkey is the NATO and EU slave as it is the Slave to Saudis and US.
US and all other calling themselves the "friends of Syria” are sworn to change the legitimate government of Syria no matter what, Hillary Clinton have bet on the issue with here words that the Syrian regime will be changed, so is with NATO, the English monarch, Saudis and Turkey helping out, they all are looking for a bigger war, they all have gambled on the geopolitical – military strategic importance of the area, because Obama has made a promise in his doctraine to “democratize” the entire middle east and thats why they give him the Nobel Price. Now if they were right or not is another question, but one thing is for sure, they are planing for a wider, longer and more deadly war in Syria then ever before. They simply challenging Russia and China, as Bill Clinton did when NATO and US were bombarding Yugoslavia attentionaly bombed the Chinese embassy. If you don’t know the past of the democrats and what they have done to this world, you be fooled again by the democrats again. From Vietnam to present US involvements in wars in Africa and in Middle east, the people as Rockefeller, the AIPAC and the Zionism as Paul Wolfowitz are the ones that controls the path of US democratic party, people just vote for the puppets without knowing the history nor knowing who they are voting for.
All these scenarios play to US/Israels hands. I am really sick from Erdogans position now, I admired the man when he confronted Israel during Mari massacre, but now?
