Turkey Continues Military Buildup Along Border With Syria

Turkey continues to build up it's military presence along the border with Syria.

Tanks, armored vehicles, infantry, and missile defense systems have placed right on the border.

The Turkish government has been one of the biggest supporters of the Syrian rebels.

Multiple times Turkey has threatened to broaden the war and join the fight against the Assad regime.

As the rest of the world considers a strike against Syria, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan has made it clear that Turkey is more than willing to aid and support any military efforts.

For the most part, Syria has ignored the growing presence, as they are busy fighting the civil war.

However, their Iranian allies have threatened retaliation against any nation which attacks Syria.

As western governments talk more about a strike, Turkey feels more safe in preparing to make a move.
