No
matter what excuse they give for these replacement helicopters, it is my humble
opinion that these machines of war are destined to help Israel and America
wreak havoc in Syria at some point in the future.

American ambassador says Washington to provide
Turkish army with three SuperCobra attack helicopters to replace those
destroyed in campaign against Kurdish rebels
US
Ambassador to Ankara Francis Ricciardone announced Friday that the US will
provide Turkey with three new attack helicopters, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet
reported.
According
to the report, which quotes Turkey’s TGRT news network, Ankara asked Washington
for SuperCobra attack helicopters to replace those it lost in the campaign
against Kurdish rebels.
On
Friday, one person was killed and two others were injured in an explosion in
the city of Antalya. Earlier, it was reported that two soldiers were killed and
three others were wounded in southeast Turkey after Kurdish rebels ambushed a
military force.
Consequently,
26 people were arrested in Istanbul and Bitlis on suspicion of being involved
in terrorist activity. The detainees included officials in the Kurdish Peace
and Democracy Party. Turkey’s agriculture minister condemned the attacks.
Also
Friday, a crew onboard a Turkish exploration ship searching for gas reservoirs
near Cyprus claimed that two Israeli aircraft and a helicopter circled above
them on Thursday night.
According
to a report published in the Turkish newspaper Watan Daily, two F-15 jets
passed through Cyprus’ Greek and Turkish airspace and approached the Turkish
coastline, while ignoring air controllers’ warnings in north Cyprus, which is
considered a Turkish territory.
