İf the plane violations the air space of a warring country, they may ask that it provides the intelligence to the other armed gruops aganist the regime.


Turkey should not be part of the ongoing civil war in neighboring country. Also this is a message of Syrian regime to the world.

Syria has already fired on neighboring nations, including Turkey. The fact that Turkey has ignored numerous acts of war by Syria against it shows remarkable self-restraint.

What goes around comes around. Turkey has become center of the Syrian uprising. They have so called revolution offices in various provinces, Fugitive Generals are managing conflicts from here, there re a lot claims and documents that Turkey and many other countries are supplying guns them over Turkey again.




But that's wrong policy, Turkey is not US,UK or S.Arabia. As a neighboring country, should not be a side of the civil war.

Well it's an open secret Turkey wants to reclaim the Mideast. Co-opting the Syrian Revolution is an excellent way of bringing Damascus to heel without having to actually annex Syria and deal with the resulting diplomatic fallout.

So, is this ''open secret re-claim'' downed now ?

Everything was ok between the two country until the uprising. Turkey has very big problems to deal, such as Kuridsh issue, Cyprus dispute, democratization etc... 8 soldiers, 3 policeman killed by PKK just this week and two teachers(teaching Turkish to the Kurds ) taken as hostages by the same nationalist organisation again.



Reclaim to Middle east is too big and too complicated for Turkey's potential. At least for now. Turkey should be focusing on their own problems, instead of Middle East.
