Turkish Government rocked by security breach

Ankara on alert after spying of security meeting revealed - POLITICS


The ministry statement confirmed the meeting, in which measures to be taken against an attack on the Süleyman Shah Tomb inside Syria were discussed, but said the leaked content was “distorted.”

“It’s only a natural exercise, and part of the duty of relevant institutions to make evaluations to defend a piece of the homeland under terrorist threat,” it read, adding that the meeting confirmed Turkey’s commitment to defend both the tomb and its soldiers deployed at the military outpost.

I've listened to the tape and it seems genuine, there are several people discussing the situation and talking all at once, and commenting on other peoples suggestions. The fact is the government has admitted that the meeting took place, but say the recording is 'distorted'. I don't see how, but let them prove it.

If the tape is genuine it means Turkey was trying to create a reason to start a war with Syria. How do you think Syria will react to this news?

'trying to start a war with Syria'
Well, yes, nothing like an outside threat to get the great unwashed proletariat to circle the wagons. It would certainly divert attention from Arty's other problems with elections due. Maybe that's why they are skirmishing with jets on the borders?
Questionis; who is in charge in Syria to declare war on Turkey?

you could see this coming a mile away ..
its a dangerous diversion to distract attention from the dirty tricks and corruption which the gov is trying to keep the lid on..they will stop at nothing
thousands have already lost their lives in Syria...do they want the same thing to happen here.....to use a tomb as an excuse for war is worse than reckless

Starting or willingly entering into a war is a time honoured method of winning the next election. Thatcher did it with the Falklands war, it turned what would have been a close election result into a landslide victory.

The Turkish foreign minister has declared the release of the tapes is a declaration of war on Turkey. I think we are going to see a lot more restrictions etc now.

If this gets worse, no one will be coming to Turkey, then the current exorbitant flight prices will drop and then the airlines will pull out. They seem to be trying to kill tourism and make the country strictly Islamic.

Hmm, does that mean we could end up with a third airport that is surplus to requirements?
