Turkish President : ‘Turkey unable to bar Syria militants’

Israeli President Shimon Peres (L) toast

Turkish President Abdullah Gul says his country is not able to prevent infiltration of militants from neighboring Syria into its territory despite tight(?) security measures along the border. Although it is well known by the whole world that the terrorists in Syria use Turkish soils as a camp and gate for Syria war.

According to IRIB, Gul told Turkish press from New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly session, on Monday that radical groups are infiltrating into Turkey from Syrian and the issue has become a serious concern for the national security.
Turkish president said “We aren’t managing to prevent terrorist infiltrations despite all precautions taken and the deployment of cannons and tanks” along the Turkish-Syrian border.
Gul made the remarks a day after he told reporters that Ankara will not “tolerate” al-Qaeda-type groups emerging in the Syrian conflict.”
Gul was quoted as saying by the Milliyet newspaper on Sunday “We will not allow any formation beyond our borders that would threaten Turkey and the entire region. We can never tolerate this.”
Gul’s complaint comes despite the fact that Ankara has been a key supporter of militants fighting against the Syrian government since the beginning of unrest in the Arab country. Ankara is providing the militants with both arms and money.
