Moscow
warns Ankara that it will fiercely resist an invasion of Syria

Award-winning Iran-Contra journalist Robert Parry has been told by
a source close to Vladimir Putin that Russia has threatened Turkey with the use
of tactical nuclear weapons if it launches a joint invasion of Syria with Saudi
Arabia.
Writing
for Consortium News, Parry warns that the risk of the United States and its
allies escalating the conflict in Syria to rescue rebels who are now on the
verge of defeat could spark “World War III”.
“If
Turkey (with hundreds of thousands of troops massed near the Syrian border) and
Saudi Arabia (with its sophisticated air force) follow through on threats and
intervene militarily to save their rebel clients, who include Al Qaeda’s Nusra
Front, from a powerful Russian-backed Syrian government offensive, then Russia
will have to decide what to do to protect its 20,000 or so military personnel
inside Syria,” writes Parry.
“A
source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have
warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use
tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a
Turkish-Saudi onslaught. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict
could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation.”
Parry’s background suggests the information should be treated
seriously. He covered the Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and
Newsweek and was later given a George Polk award for his work on intelligence
matters.
According to Parry, although President Obama has “sought to calm
Erdogan down and made clear that the U.S. military would not join the
invasion,” he has been “unwilling to flatly prohibit such an intervention”.
Moscow’s alleged threat to repel a Turkish invasion of Syria with
nuclear weapons follows comments by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in
which he warned
of a new world war if the
United States and its allies send ground troops into Syria.
Turkey and Saudi Arabia have both signalled they are considering a
ground invasion of Syria in order to aid refugees and so-called “moderate
rebels” fighting against the Assad regime.
Last week, Turkish officials called
for a “safe zone” to be
established within Syria to allow refugees to flee Russia’s advance, although
the United States argued that such a corridor could not be set up without a no
fly zone.
Saudi Arabia is currently
conducting the biggest
wargames the region has seen for a quarter of a century. Northern Thunder
involves 150,000 troops from 20 countries and is viewed by some as a precursor
to a possible invasion of Syria.
Earlier this month, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told
CNN that President Bashar
al-Assad will have to be removed “by force” if the political process fails.
Despite official denials that the kingdom possesses nuclear
weapons, Saudi political analyst told RT’s Arabic network last week that the Saudis have indeed
obtained the bomb and that tests will be conducted soon.
