Syria’s Foreign Ministry has issued a statement today blasting the Turkish parliament for its approval of cross-border operations into Syrian territory, saying the move is an “act of aggression.”
“The declared approach of the Turkish government constitutes a flagrant violation of the United Nations charter, ” the foreign ministry statement warned, saying Turkey would face “catastrophic consequences” if it continued on.
The Turkish parliament’s bill authorized military operations inside Iraq and Syria against any potential enemy of the Turkish government. Syria’s Ambassador to the UN noted Turkey has been backing Islamist rebels, and said the Turkish intervention could be a pretext to further prop up Islamist factions in the nation’s far north.
Turkey was one of the first nations to jump on the regime change bandwagon in Syria, and has in the past allowed various militant factions more or less unrestricted access to their territory. With virtually the whole Turkey-Syria border now held by al-Qaeda, ISIS, or other factions, Turkish officials seem increasingly to acknowledge that the Syrian Civil War hasn’t turned out very well for them.
Given the role they played in the war up to this point, however, it is unsurprising that Syria doesn’t trust their intentions.
Turkish Erdogan regime us as dictatorial system as any other modernized one in this world, they simply ignore any UN charter or international laws for their interests. Thurkish interests in fir Turkish so,ders to invade Syria, thrukish Erdogan regim getting his orders from NATO. That Danish Rattmussen is one if them, that Swedish King is the other.
Erdogan thought he would make some easy gains backing the ouster of Assad. But a major war directly with Assad?
Remember, as a full NATO member, if Syria attacks Turkey (even in response to Turkish attacks in Syria) they can call on the full power of NATO to bail them out. And the Turks will of course, use the new American paradigm of attacking and destroying "terrorists" wherever they are, regardless of sovereign borders.
KATLF…
As a NATO member,Erdogam is implementing plan B hoping the U.S. will bail him out of a confrontation with Assad.
Erdogan did not act against Syria on his own, nor was he first.
Obama urged this on Erdogan. Obama and many other Americans assured the Turks that Assad was ripe for the plucking, that if they didn't act someone else would and they'd lose out to a rival.
Erdogan believed American assurances. He accepted American help, and it is that help running camps and the rebels working out of those camps in Turkey via the CIA, US contractors, and Israelis under false American passports.
That was all meant to be deniable, and now that it isn't working out we are denying it and trying to make Erdogan hold the bag for it. We might convince our own press and voters, but it isn't true.
Geez, you are now just figuring it out Mr Syrian foreign minister? You think these air strikes against a name only ISIS is the only goal of the very regimes that helped create and foster it????? You had better wake up real quickly that once the missiles and bombs stop falling on this group invented by the West called ISIS that they will start falling on your government and military. Remember, the end goal is you and your removal.
whilst the only comment is dismissive of the claim in the video below, i do believe the majority of ISIS/ISIL/IS near the turkish border are turkish, with turkish tanks. MSM always mentioning the multi-national nature of ISIS/ISIL/IS, but i never see turkey included as anything but a facilitator…
Turkey sent 2000 Turkish ISIS to fight against Kurds in Syria
