Ok, so what did Turkey learn from her jet that was blown out of the sky?


Oh, and her two pilots lying somewhere on the Med’s floor still getting nibbled on by sea slugs!

[Lordo]

they don't need to claim the north east med they already have it.

as to sea slugs it is called cycle of life. you are heading that way too.

As soon as NATO stated they will not go to war with Syria because of the mortar attack on Turkish soil, Turkey does the same. Toothless Tiger once again show it's true stripes!

Turkey won’t declare war on Syria:
ANKARA

Turkish PM aide İbrahim Kalın, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, said today on his Twitter account that Turkey had no interest in a war with Syria but would protect its borders. He said political and diplomatic initiatives would continue, Reuters reported.

"Turkey has no interest in a war with Syria. But Turkey is capable of protecting its borders and will retaliate when necessary," Kalın wrote on Twitter. "Turkey has retaliated to yesterday's incident without declaring war on Syria. Political, diplomatic initiatives will continue."

May a very simple sort of person ask... When a state like Turkey shells targets in another state, it isn't an Act and Declaration of War against the other state...???

Or even allow rebel fighters to train on her soil and supply them weapons to fight in neighbouring state!

The problem is, the moment Turkey officially declares war on Syria, she will lose her NATO cover and protection, which she cannot afford to do, and we know that Erdogan has no convictions to declare war on principles alone, but is only an opportunist. Yes, Erdogan talks big, but that's all what he is good at doing. He cannot deliver what he spouts.

Oh yes... thx K for reminding us.

So for months Turkey has been training and supplying rebel fighters on her soil, it has shelled targets in Syria killing Syrian Nationals and today what passes as a parliament in Turkey has voted to authorise military action inside Syria... but none of these are Declarations or Acts of War...??? ...

Ok but hopefully not in the water...

from some of our Turkish brethren, it seems that the ottoman empire is alive and kicking,

The potential risk in 1000 words.

Shouldn't you explain what the map shows?

A recent survey conducted by Bahçeşehir University under the auspices of the 2012 World Values has shown that Turkish citizens’ feelings of national pride show significant regional variations.

Survey results showed that when asked whether they were proud of being a Turk, some 10 percent of Turkish society declined to be called a Turk. In the largely Kurdish populated southeast region only 23 percent said they were proud of being a Turk, the survey said. Bahçeşehir University prepared the survey after interviews were held with 2,205 people in 64 cities across Turkey and 152 districts between 2011 and 2012.

.................

In contrast, support for the Turkish military has steadily declined from a high of 94 percent in 1996 to 78 percent this year.

Be wary of playing Turkey’s great game

The state is taking a lead role in unseating Syria’s Assad, but it has a hidden agenda

Syria might be getting all the blame for firing the first shot in the sudden eruption of hostilities on the Turko-Syrian border, but Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, can hardly claim to be an innocent party when it comes to stoking the fires of a conflict that retains the potential to ignite a regional conflagration.

Analysis

Jim Muir BBC News, Beirut
________________________________________
The flare-up on Turkey's border with Syria carries the growing tension between the two countries to a new level.
It's the first time that Turkish citizens have been killed by fire from the Syrian side of the border. And it's the first time that Turkey has responded, by shelling selected targets inside Syria.
Ankara is clearly looking to Nato for solidarity and will doubtless win verbal expressions of support.
But at this stage that is unlikely to translate into a move towards joint intervention in the Syrian crisis or support for further escalation of bilateral hostilities.
