Turkey Ready To Dispatch 10,700 Soldiers To Syria
AGI ^ | November 11, 2015

Posted on 11/11/2015 1:08:58 PM PST by Fennie

(AGI) Ankara, Nov 11 - The Turkish government is preparing to send 10,700 soldiers to Syria in mid-December to fight ISIS and create safe areas for displaced people in the north of the country, reported pro-government daily Yeni Safak. The newspaper said that Ankara will present a document analysing the situation in Syria and will include a request for funds to the great powers at the G20 summit in Antalya over the weekend.

Ankara's aim would be to reverse the course of the military campaign against the jihadists and the migrant crisis. The plan provides for the entry of troops up to 46 km inside Syrian territory from seven Turkish regions. The safe areas would shelter up to 5 million refugees, thus offering a solution to the migrant problem.

Reverse the course of the Syrian military campaign just as the Syrian army and the Russians are making headway? Color me skeptical, but this sounds like Erdogan and Obama trying to stop the Russians, protect ISIS, attack the Kurds and, again, try and topple Assad.

I could be wrong but don't the Turks have a problem w/ the Kurds?

And aren't the Kurds also fighting ISIS in Northern Syria?

At this point Syria is looking like a six sided rubic's cube.

But w/ missiles and beheadings.

Maybe a better betting pool would be how many of the Turkish soldiers will defect to the ISIS army?

I'll bet 3531

In other words, they are establishing rat lines for the jihadists to escape the advancing Russians?

“...and create safe areas for displaced people in the north of the country...”

I’d wager these ‘displaced people’ are Kurds and other undesirables presently in Turkey.

This is TOTAL B.S. Headline!

Turkey is going in to help ISIS against Russia.

Why else would they go in now and not before?

Turkey is one of the ways ISIS inserts into Syria. Turkey has been training and supporting ISIS.

Syria Russia and the Kurds have a counter proposal

Let the “safe zone” with its Turkish occupiers be 46 KM inside southern Turkey

This is a Turkish occupation of Syrian Kurdistan and a breeding ground for Erdogan to shelter and support foreign islamist terrorists to destablize Assad

Not gonna’ happen

Turkey is going in to help ISIS against Russia.

Turkey and ISIS are Muslims.
Russians, like us, are Infidels.
Kurds are Muslims who side with us Infidels.

If true, Turkey putting ground troops in Syria is a complicated development. -Tom
