Since Russia backs Syria, this is to be expected these days.

Keep it up Turkey and Syria is going to give some AA missiles to the Turkish Kurds...

As we speak, official al-Qaeda terrorists are attacking an Armenian Christian area from the Turkish side of the border. The Turkish government is allowing and encouraging this.

This is a non-strategic area away from the other front lines. The rebels have no chance to make large gains because the population supports the government overwhelmingly. The purpose of the attack is to terrorize civilians who support the government. There was a similar attack last year in this area that resulted in dozens of civilians being executed after their villages were briefly captured and over 100 taken hostage by al-Qaeda where they remain.

Our NATO “ally” Turkey is openly trying to genocide Christians now. What is the purpose of post cold-war NATO again?

Maybe Turkey will do to Syria that our arses are afraid to do with our leader King Obama.

"Turkey changed its rules of engagement in 2012 after Syria shot down a Turkish military plane, declaring that any Syrian military element approaching the Turkish border would be treated as a legitimate target."

Good for Turkey. Now, they need to start turning back Russian flagged ships from the Bosporus straits leading to the Med.

A marvelous excuse for Putin if Turkey seems to be bullying Syria. Move on Turkey, take Istanbul (watch his polls spike) and the Bosphorus, and ensure free access to the Mediterranean Sea.

In a statement, the Turkish military said a Syrian MiG-23 entered Turkey’s airspace near the Hatay border zone after ignoring four warnings to turn back. One of two Turkish F-16s conducting a patrol in the area then fired a missile that struck the Syrian jet, which crashed 1,200 meters (yards) inside Syrian territory near the town of Kassab, the military said.

F-16 ping.

“Turkey shoots down ... warplane”

Gee, I always thought that turkey shoots were just for fun. Who knew they were so dangerous?

[stevie_d_64]

Could this be labeled as a “Turkey Shoot?” per-say???
