Tensions are as high as ever as high on the Turkish Syrian border
as Ankara is heavily increasing its troops along its southern frontiers.
This week Turkey threatened Syria with an appropriate retaliation after the Syrian forces shot down a Turkish fighter jet.

is being used by Turkey to militarize its border.
