All alone with Syria – SERKAN
DEMİRTAŞ – Hürriyet Daily News
The number of Syrian
refugees sheltering in Turkey exceeded 100,000 on Monday. ]…] Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that Turkey would continue to accept Syrians, recalling that
it delivered humanitarian aid to 750,000 Iraqis in the early 1990s, but also
expressing his expectation that the number of Syrians seeking help would not
reach that figure.
Turkish humanitarian agencies are busy getting more refugee camps ready, as the influx is not slowing down. At least four new camps are being established along the border, and calls to the international community for humanitarian aid are becoming much louder. The estimation is that the number of Syrians seeking refuge could hit up to 400,000 by June 2013.
On another front, Turkey has clearly shown its determination to bar its airspace to planes carrying arms and other military equipment toSyria , at the expense of confronting regional power Russia . ]…]
With its immediate retaliation against errant Syrian shelling on Turkish territory, Turkey is making clear that it will not ease the conditions for the Syrian regime to crackdown on the actions of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).]…]
On the diplomatic front, Lakhtar Brahimi is touring the region with little hope of a breakthrough, but talking about vague plans such as deploying a peace force in Syria.Egypt ’s initiative is also not moving ahead due to

Provocations that could push Turkey to take further military action on or inside theSyria border are the main concerns. The military and
the government should be very wary of such provocative acts and pay more
attention to the security risks that have already been posed against Turkey and its citizens during the course of this
crisis.
