So I bet it will be soon involve the the Syria conflict. I'm surprise UAE, Qatar airforce are involve but turkey have not.

We have another problems about in this region, Syria conflict is not top of the list. More than 4 million refugees came to Turkey and they makes really trouble. Another problem in refugees camps and everyday thousands refugees comes into through borders.

 

Besides, since last week we had 49 hostiges (embassy officers and their familiy) on held by Syrian terrorist. While they taken we couldn't make any attack to Syria by their life safety. Today, we do not have much chance because, still we have "kurds" terrorist problems in here. It doens't like easy from far away.

 

EU countries begins support to kurdish terrosit for fighting to Syrian terrorist but in the same time kurdish terrorist are continue attacks to Turkey with politicians in Turkey council.

 

UAE and Qatar, they haven't got any "real enemy", honestly it's a surprise for me because they never be involved any conflict untile today but suddenly they get desicion to invlove Syrian conflict, interesting. I think they gets some "gifts/presents" maybe from USA and UK again, who knows? new planes, new army contracts, new oil rising plans for near future for getting much rich the gulf countries?...who knows.

 

To bombing or involving like a piece of cake for Turkish air force. It takes just only 1 or 2 hours by 4 air force bases near of Syria. There is no problem for Air Force, 2 sq are enough. But we have to think about beyond of this involving. We are on "blade". Not far away from other countries, we have a border with Syria. There are leaking to Turkey and bombing sometimes. If we involve Syria conflict it wouldn't mean "attack and turn back" operation such as UAE, Qatar, USA navy or UK planes comes from Jordan or SA, it would be real war between two countries. Along the borders of Turkey and Syrian, too many people who have family realtion and this situation is already too much uncomfortable both of politics and day life.

 

We have to keep calm.

Wow...

[Waiping 12]

IIRC the ISIS did brag about having their reinforcement sent from Turkey.

[Hakan 2]

If ISIS brag means "human resource", many volunteers leaking to Syria to join ISIS but they crossing the border illegal. Border line is tooo long an not secure in every meters. The people comes to Turkey from EU countries mostly (I don't know ethnic roots about arabs, syrian, kurds, christian or muslim etc, too mixed) and they enters to Turkey as regular persons. No bodies can ask them "why are you in here?". They are going to villages near to Syria border, then disappears over there. There are too much smugglers in some of villages.(drug,oil,human,items etc)

 

Turkey government support to forces who fights against ISIS, not to support ISIS. ISIS appeared later Syrian conflict has began. Turkey supports have been for opposing Esad forces. Today all balances has been changed! there were no any forces by Esad (who support Esad government) or opposing Esad (who fights for independence). World focused ISIS right now.

 

The worst, Turkey fighting Pkk terrorist group who they knows kurdish rebels by Europeans. EU parlements gets a decisin to support regional kurdish directory against to ISIS to defend Northern Iraq. Regional Kurdish Directory also support to kurdish Pkk terrorist as hidden. So, EU forcing to Turkey to make military helps to Kurdish region. It means we support to our enemy Pkk terrorist by our weapons! Kurdish and Kurdish terrorist groups are trying to "legal" by EU countries besides of Syrian Conflict.

 

US, UK and EU newspaper never make the news of this truth!Our position is waiting and protect to Turkey if any attack to our mainland and accept to refugees on behalf humanity. (as I said that they are rising more than 4 millions peoples, not easy to handle about camps, eating, sleeping, health and collect together in a camp and winter is coming)

 

As I said that, we are on knife edge. Syria,Iraq,Turkmens,Pkk terrorist,Kurds,refugees......
