Now Lebanon - Turkish officials informed several western powers that Ankara might launch a military operation in northern Syria in an attempt to overthrow President Bashar al-Assads Baath Party, Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah reported on Monday.
Turkey informed Britain, France, Italy, Germany and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) leadership of the possibility that it would launch an offensive in Aleppo, Homs, Hama and Latakia, the daily quoted unnamed British officials as saying.
The daily also quoted a Lebanese diplomat in Ankara as saying that Turkish officials fear the possibility of the Syrian army committing mistakes on its borders, which might oblige the Turkish army to cross the Syrian border.
The Turkish armed forces are on alert along the Syrian borders, As-Seyassah added.
Earlier in June, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Damascus of perpetrating an atrocity against anti-regime demonstrators, the harshest remark yet in Ankaras criticism of a deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests sweeping Syria since March.
