Turkey evacuates 44 troops from northern Syria, reportedly exhumes Süleyman Şah's body, rebury his remains in a so far undisclosed location.
Hmmm.....This could be a sign Turkey is preparing to enter Syria, How much Syrian land will they claim as 'Neo Ottoman' conquerors?
On Twitter, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the tomb of Suleyman Shah, the grandfather of Osman I, founder of the Ottoman Empire, was moved into Turkey.
The tomb, once some 35 kilometers (22 miles) from Turkey on the banks of the Euphrates River, was in Syria's embattled Aleppo province and is considered Turkish territory. Davutoglu said the tomb would be sent to a "new location in Syria." He did not elaborate, though he was expected to give remarks later Sunday.
Updates.
We learn a new #IS aspect: It feeds policy (negotiating w/ Turkey n relocating Tomb) bt also ideology (destroying Sahaba Tomb) when suitable
