Türkei vs Syrien

[Ambassador]

Alle wollen ins Ostmittelmeer...

Ob das mit den Russischen Schifffen Propaganda ist, wird sich zeigen, aber Fakt ist, das Russland in Tartus eine Basis unterhalten möchte und bisher zu Syrien stand. Ohne Reaktion wird Russland jedenfalls nicht bleiben, wenn die NATO ihre Kräfte dort Verstärkt.

Sogar Kanada hat den Einsatz seiner Fregatte Vancouver verlängert und sich einem Flottenverband angeschlossen.

East Mediterranean, 21 November 2011. Four NATO warships (Turkish frigate TCG ORUCREIS, German frigate FGS SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, Romanian frigate ROS REGINA MARIA and French corvette FS CDT BIROT), and the Canadian frigate HMCS VANCOUVER (in associated support), have conducted a security sweep throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. During this Surge Operation, Maritime Patrol Aircrafts have also rendered their support.

SYRIA
“Presidential sources” in Damascus claim “three Russian warships have entered Syrian territorial waters outside the port of Tartus”.
(rmks: no way to confirm; most probably mere propaganda; wisely put the ships where nobody can see them)

LEBANON (UNIFIL)
The Brazilian navy has augmented the UNIFIL Maritime Task Force with a frigate (rmks: not specified)… will serve as flag-ship for currently Brazilian-led UN maritime mission.
