Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan: State Of War

Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad Dept: "We live in a real state of war from all angles," Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told his cabinet on Tuesday, according to Reuters. "When we are in a war, all policies and all sides and all sectors need to be directed at winning this war.", according to CBC. "Any military element that approaches the Turkish border from Syria will be regarded as a threat and treated as a military target," said Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and tensions mounted on both sides of the Syria-Turkey border on Tuesday, with open talk of war in Damascus while its neighbour to the north said military action would follow any future violations of its territory. Assad's remarks came amid heavy fighting outside the capital between rebel and government forces, and strong words from Turkey in response to the downing of one of its jets on Friday by Syrian forces.
