Турция готовится к войне .... на всякий случай. Так как напряжение в курдских районах и на границе с Сирией нарастает офицеров запаса призывают на службу.

Премьер-министр Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган встретился с высшим командованием страны во главе с начальником Генерального штаба генералом Недждет Озелом во вторник в своем кабинете. На повестке дня было возрастание напряженности на юго-востоке страны, где курдские повстанцы организовали в рамках запрещенной Рабочей партии Курдистана (РПК) в последние недели ​​операций против сил безопасности, принесшие много жертв. Турецкие военные призвали офицеров в запасе обратно на службу.

Hurriyet Daily News сообщает, что по данным источников, среди вариантов, рассматриваемых в Анкаре, создание специальных групп полиции является приоритетом. Уже решено, что специальные группы полиции будут направленны в особенно чувствительные регионы и будут частью сил в борьбе с террором. После недавних событий, это решение будет выполнено быстрее. В настоящее время насчитывается более 6000 офицеров специальных полицейских сил. Группа из 500 тщательно отобранных из этой команды будут направлены в зоны повышенного риска, такие как Хаккари, Шырнак и Диярбакыр и также будут развернуты в горах, где обитают боевики Рабочей партии Курдистана.

Военные также рассматривают вариант воздушных бомбардировок баз РПК в Северном Ираке.

В то же время турецкие военные готовят план против любых непредвиденных событии, вытекающих из сложившейся ситуации в Сирии. Были сообщения, что Турция может принять решение о создании буферной зоны между Турцией и Сирией, хотя эти слухи были опровергнуты правительственными источниками. Существует также небольшая вероятность, что турецкой армии, возможно, придется вмешаться в Сирию напрямую, если ситуация там ухудшится.

Заседание Совета национальной безопасности Турции планируется провести в четверг.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
