Activist Post: Turkey's Invasion Of Syria Shows Turkish Connection To ISIS; NATO Agenda
Turkey has now officially proven that Israel and the United States are
not the only nations that can brazenly violate the sovereignty of other
countries, Syria in particular, without fear of reprisal due to NATO
support and a blatant culture of aggression.
The Turkish invasion of Syrian soil on February 22 under the guise of
protecting and securing the tomb of Sulayman Shah is case in point.
The tomb is largely recognized as a Turkish exclave since the early
1920s when, in 1921, it was agreed in the Treaty of Ankara that the
Turks would be allowed to raise the Turkish flag over the tomb and place
a small number of Turkish guards around the mausoleum given that
Sulayman Shah bears such significance to Turkish history. The tomb is
located about 23 miles from Turkey itself and thus is located inside
Syrian territory.
According to mainstream Western press like CNN,
the Turks were forced to evacuate the tomb and its contents due to the
escalating violence in the area. CNN also reports that the evacuation
was led and conducted with the 40 guards stationed around the tomb.
However, the reality is that the tomb evacuation was actually a
relatively large military operation involving about 600 Turkish
soldiers, 100 tanks, and APCs.
The Turkish military apparently entered Syria via Kobane (Ayn al-Arab).
