Turkey Continues Bombing Syria While Calling For UN, NATO Intervention

The Turkey army continues to shell Syria government forces and is appealing to the UN and NATO to intervene despite stiff warnings from Russia.

Turkey claims that they have been bombing Syria forces for the last 48 hours in response to an act of aggression committed by Syria forces who reportedly shelled Turkey border towns where rebel terrorists were operating and smuggling supplies to fuel the insurgency from.

Whether the shelling being blamed on Syria was a false flag or not the world may never know but Turkey is appealing to the United Nations and NATO to responds to Syria’s act of aggression.

In reality Turkey has been a state sponsor of the brigade of armed terrorists known as the Free Syria Army even going as far as providing them with a military base to operate out of inside Turkey where they were free from attacks by the Syria government army.

This by itself was an act of war so if Syria did launch any attacks as Turkey claims it certainly does not clarify as an act of aggression but instead an act of self-defense.

A proper analogy would be if Mexico had set up a military base to harbor an army of Al Qaeda extremists and were running ground support to help the terrorist smuggle weapons inside the United States for the last 18 months and the United States finally decided to attack border points along the US Mexico border.

As Turkey appeals to the UN and NATO for intervention Brazil, Russia, Iran, China and other nations are still standing strong against any western military intervention.

Russia has just blocked another UN draft proposal while handing NATO a stiff warning against fabricating or seeking pretexts for military intervention in Syria.

Turkish Army continues shelling positions in Syria

Turkish forces continue shelling targets in Syria following a deadly cross-border attack on a town in southeast Turkey amid escalating tensions between the two neighbors.

Ankara said the attacks were in retaliation for a Syrian mortar strike that killed five people in Turkey’s southeastern town of Akcakale in Sanliurfa province earlier on Wednesday.

In a letter to the UN Security Council, Ankara condemned the shelling as “a flagrant violation of international law,” and asked the world body to take action to stop such “acts of aggression.”

The Turkish parliament is due on Thursday to discuss a motion for cross-border military operations inside Syria “when deemed necessary.”

NATO ambassadors also held an emergency late-night meeting in Brussels to discuss the Syrian shelling and the Turkish backfire.

The alliance blamed Syria for the incident and demanded Damascus end what it called aggressive acts against member-nation Turkey.

Meanwhile in a phone conversation, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton assured Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu of Washington’s full backing for Ankara at NATO and the UN, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Separately, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said, “We stand with our Turkish ally and are continuing to consult closely on the path forward.”

The remarks came despite the Syrian government’s gesture to offer condolences to Turkish people over the deadly mortar attack and to launch an investigation into the source of the shelling.

Damascus also called for an end to the transfer of terrorists into Syria, which has been plagued by more than a year of deadly unrest.

Russia Foreign Minister on the Developments:

‘Russia worried about Turkey tensions’
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow is concerned about the “deteriorating” situation on the border between Syria and Turkey.

Press TV – “As far as the incident between Syria and Turkey goes, it is of great concern for us. The situation is deteriorating with every coming day,” Lavrov said at a press conference during a visit to the Pakistani capital Islamabad on Thursday.

On Wednesday, a Syrian mortar strike killed five people in the southeastern Turkish town of Akcakale in Sanliurfa province.

Lavrov stated that Syrian authorities told Russian officials that “what happened at the border with Turkey was a tragic accident, and that it will not happen again.”

On Thursday, several Syrian soldiers were reportedly killed in a retaliatory attack by Turkish forces on a military post near Syria’s border town of Tel Abyad.

The Turkish parliament is scheduled to discuss a motion for cross-border military operations inside Syria “when deemed necessary” later on Thursday.

Meanwhile, NATO ambassadors held an emergency meeting in Brussels on Wednesday over the Turkish-Syrian border clashes and said in a statement, “The alliance continues to stand by Turkey and demands the immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an ally.”

On October 2, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told reporters in Moscow, “In our contacts with partners in NATO and in the region, we are calling on them not to seek pretexts for carrying out a military scenario or to introduce initiatives such as humanitarian corridors or buffer zones” inside Syria.
