Turkey Deploys Military Convoy to Syria Border 
-----------------------------------------------


 
The Assad regime continues to face new tensions with neighboring Turkey
following Syria’s downing of a Turkish fighter jet in Syrian airspace.
Earlier today, Turkey began deploying military convoys carrying
anti-aircraft weapons to its border with Syria. In a speech, Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he will not refrain from
retaliating against Syria if provoked.

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan: "We will not refrain from
teaching a lesson to the state of gangs that lost its legitimacy in the
eye of its people, imposing state terror to its people and trying to
test Turkey's greatness."
