(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.

That’s half a freaking division ! What the hell is going on over there ?
Let’s have a lottery for the day/week/month? world war III begins.
I pick the second week of June, 2016.
days are too hard to pick.
Kurds are getting killed. By Turkey and ISIS.
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.
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.
I pick September 11, 2001
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.
lol. you win
“a request for funds to the great powers at the G20 summit in Antalya over the weekend. “
LOL! The ‘money quote’...
They are trying to keep the refugees in Syria.
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.
Who in the hell knows what is going on. One thing for sure this is not good for the Kurds.
Ooops that Turkey. Time for glasses, I thought that Turkeys will be sent to soldiers.
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 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
