Iran warns Turkey against Syria attack

"...Iran has warned neighbor Turkey that it will meet a harsh response should Ankara carry out any strikes inside Syrian territory, a pro-Damascus daily reported on Monday."Any attack on Syrian territory will meet with a harsh response, and the Iranian-Syrian mutual defense agreement will be activated," the Al-Watan newspaper said."Turkey has received very strong warnings in the past few hours and the following message – beware changing the rules of the game," the paper added.....
Al-Watan cited an "Arab diplomat" as accusing Turkey of seeking to use its fears about the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which already enjoys rear-bases in the far north of Iraq, as a pretext to intervene in Syria.
"Ankara is preparing an agreement with Washington to intervene militarily in the Syrian (crisis), using the Kurdish card as an excuse," the paper said.
"Turkey has agreed with the United States on a military intervention limited to the north of Syria, specifically the northern province of Aleppo, to pave the way for the creation of a safe haven guarded by the armed gangs."
Turkish newspapers have reported that some Kurdish-majority regions of northern Syria have been flying the flag of Syria's PKK ally, the Democratic Union Party (PYD), in what they have said is a deal with the Assad government, which was a longtime backer of the Kurdish rebel group's insurgency in Turkey. ..."
