“We
struck [Syria]”
Syria was instantly retaliated after killing 5 of our citizens in [the
Turkish border town of] Akcakale by mortar fire. Military targets
[inside Syria] have been destroyed one by one. Our howitzers turned Tel
Abyad and Aynel Arus – located 10 km across the
border – into hell. Damascus is in a state of shock.

excerpts from: Turkey's parliament
authorises military action in Syria
BBC
News website, 4 October 2012
Turkey's
parliament has authorised cross-border military action against Syria,
if required by the government.
The bill, which was passed 320-129, gives the government authority for
one year to send troops into Syria or carry out strikes against Syrian
targets. [...]
Turkey has been firing at targets inside Syria, in retaliation for the
deaths of five civilians. Two women and three children died in Akcakale
or on the Turkey-Syria border in shelling by Syria. [...]
The UN Security Council is to meet later, following a Turkish request
for the body to take "necessary action" to stop Syrian "aggression".
Nato has held an urgent meeting to support Turkey, demanding "the
immediate cessation of such aggressive acts against an ally".
The US, the UK, France and the European Union have already condemned
Syria's actions.

excerpts from: Turkish minister says
violence in Syria is threat for Turkey's internal security
PBS website, 26 September 2012
PBS:
If the United Nations won't act [against Syria], would Turkey
ever join a coalition of the willing, that is, a coalition that's not
U.N., but perhaps NATO and Arab-led, as it did -- as happened in Libya?
DAVUTOGLU:
Of course, in Libya, there was a U.N. resolution which
created the base for this coalition of willing. But if U.N. cannot do
anything, all the other options and measures should be on the table.
[...]
PBS:
And Turkey would take part?
DAVUTOGLU:
Turkey is already taking part.
PBS:
No, I mean in a military sense.
DAVUTOGLU:
Yes, of course. [...]
[Turkey's
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, interview with Margaret Warner of
PBS' News Hour, aired on September 26th, 2012. Two days later, Mr
Davutoglu delivered his speech at the U.N. General Assembly in New York]
