AP reports: An aide to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey has no intention of declaring war on Syria.
The aide says today that Turkey's shelling of Syria following a mortar attack that killed five civilians in Turkey and the proposed bill to authorise military actions against its neighbor should be seen as a 'warning to Syria'.
Turkey's Parliament today was debating a bill to authorise the military to launch cross border operations in Syria, while Turkey resumed artillery shelling of Syrian targets near the border.
