Turkey sent tanks and missile batteries to the border next to Syria’s Kurdish region<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said\u00a0he\u00a0will not tolerate a Kurdish safe-haven<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0in Syria following reports that Kurdish rebels and a Syrian Kurdish political party had taken control of large swathes of territory along the Turkish-Syrian border.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erdogan emphasized Turkey\u2019s concern that a Kurdish authority in the north of Syria could provide a sanctuary to Turkey\u2019s own Kurdish separatists for them to possibly launch attacks into Turkey.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not allow a terrorist group to establish camps in northern Syria and threaten Turkey,\u201d he said<\/span><\/a><\/span> on Thursday. \u201cIf there is a step which needs to be taken against the terrorist group, we will definitely take this step.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Late on Thursday Turkey mobilized and deployed tanks and missile batteries on the Syrian border<\/span><\/a><\/span> near the Kurdish region, prompting concern Syria\u2019s internal conflict could spill outside its own borders. Turkey is a NATO member state, so if it decides to engage it could have serious consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Erdogan\u2019s government has been allowing Syrian rebels to establish bases in Turkey, from which they launch attacks into Syria. Apparently, the Turkish motto is \u2018do as we say, not as we do.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

When Syria began to descend into extreme violence, Turkey gave shelter to the Syrian rebel fighters and eventually provided them with lethal and non-lethal aid, despite their having ties to terrorist groups and having committed serious crimes themselves. That Turkey would complain about Syria committing to the mirror image of its own policies is embarrassing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party (PKK), which has been fighting for autonomy in southeast Turkey for decades, has been condemned as a terrorist group by Turkey, the European Union and the United States. During the 1990s, Washington supported Turkey major atrocities in the southeast Kurdish region, leaving the countryside devastated with tens of thousands killed and millions displaced.<\/span><\/p>\n
