Turkey
is reinforcing its position in the Mediterranean Sea following the escalation
in tension along its border with Syria.
A number
of warships and submarines have been sent to bases in the Mediterranean from
the northwestern province of Gölcük where the main base of the Naval Forces is
located. The ships were fully loaded with arms labeled "war load."
Tension
has escalated between the two countries after a Syrian shell bomb hit the
Akçakale region in the southeastern Turkish province of Şanlıurfa. Turkey
reciprocated by bombing Syrian army targets, and on Oct. 4 the Turkish
Parliament passed a motion for a one-year mandate authorizing the military use
of ground troops for cross-border operations into "foreign
countries."
