Turkish PM rages

Last week a Turkish airforce training jet was shot down by the Syrian military. Where the jet was shot down is disputed by Syria and Turkey. Syria has been locked in internal strife arguably since the 1970's. In mid 2011 areas of Syria began an attempt at toppling the al-Assad dynasty, since then thousands of Syrian's have been killed in a conflict that many argue bears the hallmarks of civil war. 

Erdogan's patience with the Syrian regime appears to be wearing thin. Turkey has accepted waves of Syrian refugees as a result of the conflict. Turkey being a NATO member can call on the alliance if things get increasingly messy between the two. Some NATO members are less keen to get involved in yet another scrap. This week the Turkish PM called on the alliance for an emergency meeting because of the recent escalation.

Today Erdogan announced that the Turkish military is changing it's rules of engagement saying that Syria has become an "open threat".BBC, Turkish PM issues Syria border warning
