Iran Says Turkish Bases in Syria Would Be 'Unacceptable'
In which yet another player enters the game.
[AnNahar] Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Monday denounced as "unacceptable" any move by The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
 to establish military bases in Syria, saying such a step would face opposition from the Islamic republic and other countries.

President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
 said on Friday that Turkey would set up 12 observation posts inside Syria as he warned Ankara would restart an operation against Kurdish forces across the border.

Iran's foreign ministry front man Abbas Mousavi criticised the planned move in response to a question at a news conference.

"The Turks can have any bases and can do anything on their own territory and within their borders, but if you mean... establishing Ottoman Turkish bases in Syria, this is unacceptable," Mousavi said in remarks aired on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?

Such a step, he said, would be seen by Iran as an "aggression against the national illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent country.
*SNORT*
"Naturally it will face opposition from the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran and other countries," Mousavi added.

Iran has repeatedly called for an immediate halt to the Ottoman Turkish offensive in Syria, launched on October 9 after the United States announced it would withdraw all its troops from the area.

A US-brokered ceasefire gives Kurdish forces until Tuesday evening to withdraw from a buffer area Turkey wants to create on Syrian territory along its southern frontier.

In his remarks on Friday, Erdogan said the proposed "safe zone" would be 32 kilometres (20 miles) deep, and 444 kilometres in length, and patrolled by Turkey.

But, he said, "We have no intention to stay there. This is out of the question."
