[quote:firinne:MV8yODkyMDcxXzk3MzFCRkFE] Lots of headlines coming through... The Turkish military has been asked to prepare an invasion of Syria with the objective of creating a 33-km deep buffer zone along the border with Syria. Turkey is expected to deploy 18,000 troops to “secure” an area from Kobani to the town of Mare. To establish this “Mare Line” the Turkish troops will most likely have to engage in fighting Kurdish fighters, not ISIL. NATO partners are unlikely to be happy with Turkey’s decision. In fact, Washington’s position on the Turkish initiative is not clear, but the US and Israel have been known to cooperate with Kurdish fighters in the past. http://www.neurope.eu/article/turkey-invades-syria-against-kurdish-forces/?
