"A number of analysts and media outlets continues to refer to the group by its previous names, which include al-Nusra Front, Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, and al-Qaeda in Syria."

Gee, what were the Turkish troops doing intermingled with these ruffians?

Good for Greece. Hopefully, Greece will now resolve to no longer allow a single Islamist Turk enable invader to set foot on Greek soil.

Long time past NATO and Turkey should part ways.

(Kozak... this semi-rant isn’t meant for you... just venting)

NATO needs to be rolled up like yesterday’s newspaper and trashed. It serves no useful purpose now. The Turks want to play in the Syrian sandbox? Let them take casualties. Their mission is not a NATO mission. NATO doesn’t automatically offer support to US military actions around the globe, do they?
