Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1439859 Israel 06/23/2011 02:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Turkish and Syrian forces engaged in a tense cross-border standoff on Thursday as a fresh military operation against Syrian dissidents threatened to spark a major regional crisis. Turkish and Syrian forces engaged in a tense cross-border standoff on Thursday as a fresh military operation against Syrian dissidents threatened to spark a major regional crisis. The offensive brought Syrian and Turkish troops into eye-contact for the first time, significantly worsening the increasingly noxious relationship between the two neighbours. More than 30 tanks were seen surging into Khirbet al-Joz and bursts of automatic gunfire could be heard from the Turkish side of the border. An offensive was also under way in nearby Managh, where soldiers roared through the streets in military vehicles mounted with machine guns, opening fire indiscriminately at terrified civilians, according to accounts by villagers. An immediate cross-border exchange was averted after Turkish troops withdrew a few hundred yards. [link to www.telegraph.co.uk] |

Lime flavoured nli User ID: 1439865 United Kingdom 06/23/2011 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. concerned about the increasing Syrian military deployment on the Turkish border Quoting: CXTI don't blame them. Sounds more & more this might actually turn into something. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1439647It's getting more likely I think, but I still don't think it'll kick off quite yet. so turkey avoid exchange of fire. maybe they wait the good time, but i think it was the best moment if they wanted to invade syria Quoting: Anonymous Coward 501224I wouldn't say it was the best moment. If Syria keep building up troops it will give Turkey more leeway in saying that they pose a danger. The more Syrian troops in the area the more of a problem there is for Turkey (or, more accurately, the more likely it will be seen as reason to start shit). The major issue here is what happens if shit does kick off between Turkey and Syria. I'm not going to make any guesses in that regard. |
