Turkey Parliament to Debate Syria Strikes Motion
Turkey's parliament will discuss a government motion authorizing military strikes against Syria on Thursday, the deputy prime minister said.
Bulent Arinc declined to comment on its scope while speaking to reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting on Monday.
Turkey authorized military action against Syria shortly after a mortar attack fired from the neighboring territory killed five of its civilians in October.
Since then, the Turkish military has retaliated in kind for every Syrian shell that has landed on its soil.
Relations between once close allies Damascus and Ankara have deteriorated since the outbreak of the deadly conflict in Syria in March 2011.
The long and volatile border between the two countries has become increasingly tense with a number of incidents in the area, prompting NATO to station Patriot missile batteries there for defensive purposes.
On September 17, Turkey downed a Syrian military helicopter that it said had violated its airspace, in a move Damascus said was aimed at heightening tensions between the two countries.

you like to see another pilot's beheading don't you? Wate
also, lol syria destroyed one jewish f15 and f22 a jew-sub and a turkish f6 I think
the very moment force is decided to not be used in syria will it send all its troops to battle terrorists, since a lot are stationed and reserved for major invasion from neighbooring countries like turkey and israel
we all know syria didn't respond to jewish provocation because it was exactly what the jews wanted, to extend the leash of its k9 the US
world wide condemnation stopped them though and the shooting down of the aforementioned
stop making yourself look foolish ya gabby14 but with a name like that it will be very difficul

you'd love seeing another pilot being beheaded wouldn't you ya gabby? barbaric savage like your opposition and its supporters the al-saud
can't wait to get guarantees that international force won't be used, then syria can commit its full force of reserves and backup that are on call for invasion from arab traitors and arab enemies like turkey and israel
also ya gabby you forget the jews want syria to respond so they may send in their slave, the US to fight on their behalf. Their plan didn't work though and now they've been condemned by all except the US
don't forget syria shot down a jewish f15 a jewish f22 destroyed a jew sub and shot down a turkish f6
yalla rou7 and stop making yourself look foolish, but with a name like gabby14 it will be very difficult
