NATO 'ally' Turkey to Refrain From Intervening in Syria Until 'we get our way'
NATO 'Ally' Turkey to Refrain From Intervening in Syria Until 'we get our way' . (RN).
Turkey will not intervene militarily into the Syrian crisis unless the international community obliges to establish a no-fly area and a buffer zone in the war-torn country, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Tuesday.
"Unless the international community does what is needed, unless there are steps toward the resolution of the Syrian crisis on the whole, Turkey will not agree to any risky ventures, despite the pressure coming from certain nations," prime minister said at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party in the parliament.
He added that Turkey would facilitate the US-led military action against terrorism if the coalition promised to establish a buffer zone and a no-fly area in Syria.
Davutoglu also called the protests by Turkey's Kurdish population over the fighting in the Syrian Kurdish city of Kobani near the Turkish border a "provocation".
"We guarantee public order in Turkey. We will buy five or 10 water cannons to replace each of those destroyed," he said.
Earlier in October, the Turkish parliament approved the use of military force in Iraq and Syria.
According to the parliamentary decision, the Turkish army can be used in operations abroad within a year, while foreign militaries will be permitted to be stationed in the country. Hmmm....Sounds like the Turkish parliament doesn't count anymore it's a Presidential led 'Dictatorship' claiming 'L'etat c'est moi', meanwhile ISIS gets a free pass.
