Freeing the Bosphorus for the Russia’s navy.
We are going to see unfolding events as explained by Islam
This is Islamic eschatology validating itself
It could be that Erdogan has so far refused to invade Syria
Events in Turkey from the last week or two are still just unrest and not an uprising but social media is being applied in a crafty way, the agenda is not regime change but rather to create a need for a distraction by the government, and Syria is the most likely distraction.
This would likely create a civil war in turkey which would attract Muslims from abroad wishing to Free Turkey from NATO
Both Mursi and Erdogan are uncompromising
Regarding Egypt breaking off relations with Syria, Mursi is following a script from his paymasters, he had no choice, and neither Neither Iran nor Russia have reacted

Doctors who treated protesters wounded in clashes with riot police in Turkey are to be investigated by the government in a move likely to inflame tensions further.
The Health Ministry had demanded a list of the names of all doctors who treated demonstrators from the Turkish Medical Association (TBB), the association said on Friday 14 June.
The TBB estimates that 7,500 people have been injured in the unrest, the overwhelming number suffering from teargas exposure.
The association said it was ordered to “immediately” give up the names of medical workers and their patients, but had vowed not to co-operate.
“We were notified that an investigation has been launched into the improvised clinics that treated the protesters,” said Osman Öztürk of the TBB.
The authorities also signalled they would take steps to close down media outlets that broadcast images of demonstrations last week.
Turkey’s state television regulator shut down one channel that offered continuous live coverage of the protests. Hayat TV went off air “for broadcasting from abroad without a licence”, the Radio and Television Supreme Council said.
On Tuesday, the regulator fined Hayat TV and three stations that ran extensive coverage of the protests for “encouraging people to violence”.
On Friday night, the BBC suspended its partnership with NTV after the private channel refused to air the Turkish version of the World Agenda programme.
However, the government was forced to back down on plans to redevelop Gezi park in Istanbul, which sparked the protests last month. Police were criticised for the heavy-handedness of their response to the initial protests.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, agreed to abide by a court decision on his plan to uproot Gezi Park. He said he would hold a referendum if the court rules in favour of it.
“If judiciary in the end allows the project we’ll still apply the public vote,” he said. “It won’t be a military barracks but a city museum – 80% of trees will be within the city museum, the rest will be planted around the complex.”
Taksim Solidarity, one group representing the protesters, hailed the move as “positive”.
The government also turned its sights on Twitter, demanding the company set up a local division as “they receive advertising revenue without paying a penny in tax”.
Police have arrested a number of people who are accused of stirring up protests by posting messages on the site, including information on the position of police lines.
Has Morsi betrayed Iran by cutting ties with Syria on the day that Iran was busy with its presidential elections.
Turkey appears to have had more than a million people demonstrating for and against Erdogan.
In the course of its investigation into the Reyhanlı bombings (11 May 2013), the Turkish police conducted on Monday, 27 May 2013, a series of raids on the homes of Al-Nusra Front militants in Adana and Mersin. 12 suspects were arrested.
2 kg of sarin gas were found.
The Al-Nusra Front is the Levantine branch of Al-Qaida. The militants were preparing to use the sarin gas inside both Turkey and Syria. Sarin gas is a chemical weapon banned by the United Nations in 1991.
This discovery comes as the French daily Le Monde, in its edition dated May 28, published a five-part report by Jean-Philippe Rémy and Laurent Van Der Stockton “certifying” the use of gas by the Army Syrian Arab against the “rebellion” in Jobar (district of Damascus).
The report is a carbon copy of the one carried out in Homs, more than one year ago by the same newspaper, which was translated into the main European languages and published by all major outlets in NATO member states. The report contains several absurdities: journalists describe a chemical warfare at the heart of the capital supposed to affect only “opponents“; the people show diverse symptoms, but no convulsions; and photos illustrating the first installment point to an eye treatment which is incongruous with for poison gas (which penetrates the skin and is not a tear gas). This piece of propaganda was disseminated and widely relayed on the eve of the lifting of the EU embargo on sending weapons to armed groups in Syria.
