The
Tomb of Suleyman Shah is the supposed burial place of
Suleyman Shah, the grandfather of
Osman I, the founder of the
Ottoman Empire. He is believed to have drowned in the
Euphrates River in modern-day Syria, and an Ottoman tomb in or near
Qal'at Ja'bar has been associated with Suleyman Shah.
[1] In accordance with Article 9 of the
Treaty of Ankara (1921) signed between
France and
Turkey, the tomb "shall remain, with its appurtenances, the property of Turkey, who may appoint guardians for it and may hoist the Turkish flag there."
[2][3][4] In 1973, the location of the tomb was flooded by construction of
Tabqa Dam to create
Lake Assad. At that time, the tomb was moved to a new location north of Qal'at Ja'bar
this is interesting , I only thought Turkey had Turkish cyprus outside Turkish territory , did not know they had a landlocked tomb inside Syria as part of their territory to.

my question is how do you supply your troops their with the current civil war since it is landlocked ?
Like neptune said, we have a Infantry platoon there, why should they leave it, soldiers are there for protecting it in war times not in peace times.
how do you supply your troops their with the current war going on ? that means your planes would have to cross into syrian airspace i suppose.
interesting it turned out to be a landlocked turkish territory , first time I knew about this.
The ISIS dogs might do something there, they control manjab district where the tomb is located.
