And Turkey? It complains about its sovereignity being violated by straying bullets and misled shells. But it frequently penetrates into Iraki air space and conducts ground operations on Iraqi soil against PKK fighters - dedicated military operations, not just some shells misled. It also violated Syrian air space and provoked that infamous "incident" where one Turkish fighters was shot down by Syrian AD - inside Syrian air space, it seems.
Bow to the big Ottoman, bow to bigger-than-big Erdoghan, everybody!

Turkey is a NATO member and despite the fact the cold war is no more she still has a natural border with Russia/Georgia.
