Ex-Oberstleutnant der Bundeswehr zu Su-24-Abschuss: TĂŒrkei hat doppelbödige Politik

Ankara falle auch der NATO, der westlichen Allianz, die gegen den IS kĂ€mpft, in den RĂŒcken, so Rose, „indem sie nĂ€mlich beispielsweise die Bodentruppen, die kurdischen Bodentruppen bombardiert, indem der gesamte Nachschub an Waffen, an Munition, an Logistik ĂŒber tĂŒrkischen Boden an den IS lĂ€uft und gelaufen ist.“

Seiner Meinung nach könnte der Vorfall aber auch deutliche politische Ursachen haben: „Sie [die TĂŒrkei] ist ein erklĂ€rter Gegner des PrĂ€sidenten Assad. Und die tĂŒrkische Politik ist extrem doppelbödig.“

Egypt, Israel rebuff bid to trim Sinai peacekeeping force: official

We said this is not the proper time, during a war on terrorism. It would give jihadists the wrong message,“ the official told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

„That was the main outcome: No talks about any reduction now.“

Cairo sees the MFO as part of a relationship with Israel that, while unpopular with many Egyptians, brings them $1.3 billion in annual U.S. defense aid, sweetening the foreign-enforced demilitarization of their sovereign Sinai territory.

Turkey, US to begin op for ISIL-free zone in Syria

(18.11.2015) Military and diplomatic sources told HĂŒrriyet that Kerry was referring to “a cleaning operation” to be conducted in a 98-kilometer long zone on the so-called “Mare-Jarablus line,” underlining that the campaign would kick-off soon.

As the U.S. and Turkey together provide “air protection,” armed forces from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) will launch an offensive against ISIL.

Officials stressed that the Turkish Armed Forces will not put boots on the ground, though action will be taken against ISIL elements along the Turkey-Syria border.

The Turkish military will hit ISIL targets in Syria by strikes launched from Turkish territory, they said.

Prince Charles: Climate Change is to blame for War in Syria

Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, has stepped in the climate issue again, by suggesting that climate change in Syria is the root cause of their barbarous civil war.

According to Charles;

“And, in fact, there’s very good evidence indeed that one of the major reasons for this horror in Syria, funnily enough was a drought that lasted for about five or six years, which meant that huge numbers of people in the end had to leave the land.”

Russian-Iranian talks: Vladimir Putin had talks with President of Iran Hassan Rouhani in Tehran.

(23.11.2015) (Answering a journalist‘s question on the situation in Syria.)

Vladimir Putin: I have a positive assessment of our pilots’ work. Today, I informed our Iranian friends about these matters and we exchanged views on the situation in Syria.

As for our troops’ actions, this is a complex operation involving major satellite support and various air force resources. These include attack planes, bombers, strategic missile-carrying bombers, fighter jets that are covering them, and two fleet groupings in the Caspian and Mediterranean seas, including missile carriers which are striking from the Caspian Sea basin. Naturally, all this is done in agreement with our Iranian partners; I think it would simply be impossible without their participation.

This is complicated, extensive work in coordination and technology maintenance, which serves as evidence of our officers’ and troops’ high level of training. These efforts are bringing positive results and our joint assessment was constructive. But I want to say again that there is no other option for resolving the Syrian problem in the long-term other than through political negotiations.
