Turkey - Syria border tension escalation

Reports of an escalation in tensions between Turkey and Syria are coming in.

NATO has previously given its support to Turkey; if Syria does not tread carefully it could find itself at war with NATO.

We fully support the actions of the Turkish government. Georgia sees this latest incident of Syrian helicopters approaching Turkish airspace as a deliberate escalation of violence orchestrated by Damascus. Georgia reiterates its view that al Assad should immediately go and proposes that the MUN considers expelling Syria from the MUN until al Assad has left power, it is unacceptable that we should have representatives of such a tyrannical regime sitting amongst us.

Australia fully supports Turkey in this matter given the recent murder of her two of her pilots when her plane was shot down.
Kyrgyzstan hopes the current conflict in Syria can end as soon, and with as little bloodshed, as possible.

President Assad is aware he has outstayed his welcome and Kyrgyzstan condemns his actions.

Although we urge turkey not to attack Syria, Kyrgyzstan feels turkey has a right to self defense, should their civilians be put at risk by neighbouring Syria.

Uruguay gives its full support to Turkey, and would remind Syria that given its internal conflict, this is not the time to be making enemies.

Belgium understands and supports the measures taken by the Turkish government. It was most unwise for Syria to bring down the Turkish jet last month, and actions such as these only beckons the international community to involve itself in Syria's civil affairs - ideally something many of us would want to avoid.

Turkey urges other nations to see we are trying our best to support the Syrian people even it it means we go against their leaders.

Ukraine supports Turkey, and is willing to provide material support against any Syrian aggression.

China has no comment.

Uruguay would urge China to get a move on, and make a decision about the Syrian crisis.

China believes that this is a matter to be resolved between Turkey and Syria.

We are working with other members of the Security Council to resolve the more general Syria issue, but for the moment we are supporting the Russian decision.
The MHoC is deeply concerned by these latest developments and we view them as a sign of the conflict escalating. We support our Turkish allies and will be consulting NATO about these latest developments.
Switzerland urges Syria not to take this conflict to Turkey.

Malaysia is backing Turkey to defend themselves if that is necessary, as they may come under further threat from Syria callous military tactics.
