[quote:DoorBert:MV8xOTU2MDg4XzMyNzk2MjUyXzUzODNGMEJC] [b]Turkey signals to US, may go ahead ‘solo' with safety zones in Syria[/b] While NATO allies Turkey and the US have started synchronizing their contingency operation plans for Syria amid the influx of thousands of refugees into Turkey in recent days, [b][color=red]Turkey has made it clear that it will go ahead with setting up “safety zone” pockets inside Syrian territory[/color][/b] to handle the mounting humanitarian crisis. Speaking to Today's Zaman on Sunday, diplomatic officials drew a picture of a two-stage plan for Turkey to handle the mass exodus from Syria, underlining that the issue may have already become a “significant national security threat” for Turkey. According to officials who asked for their names to be withheld, Turkey, in coordination with the US and other allies, will press for a UN Security Council resolution mandating the establishment of “protective enclaves” within Syria so that potential refugees will be taken care of inside Syria. [b][color=red]This will be complemented by military measures that may include a no-fly zone and restriction of troop movements loyal to the embattled leader of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, in areas close to the border.[/color][/b] Since the border is 900 kilometers long, the idea is to set up pockets of “safety zones” or “enclaves” in residential areas close to the Turkish border. [b][color=red]If the UN mandate fails under the veto powers of Russia and/or China, Turkish diplomats say Ankara will go ahead with its own planning anyway, backed by Western and Arab allies.[/color][/b] “Threat is not limited to a military nature. If refugees flood into Turkey in hundreds of thousands, then it will become a national security risk threatening Turkey. It all depends on how events unfold in Syria,” officials said. Turkey has so far declined to provide exact figure of refugees that will prompt Ankara to start military intervention for humanitarian purposes. http://www.todayszaman.com/newsDetail_getNewsById.action?newsId=289364 [/quote]
