Among the most damning sections:
Ahmet Davutolu: “Prime Minister said that in current conjuncture, this attack (on Suleiman Shah Tomb) must be seen as an opportunity for us.”
Hakan Fidan: “I’ll send 4 men from Syria, if that’s what it takes. I’ll make up a cause of war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey; we can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shah Tomb if necessary.”
Feridun Sinirliolu: “Our national security has become a common, cheap domestic policy outfit.”
Ya?ar Güler: “It’s a direct cause of war. I mean, what’re going to do is a direct cause of war.”
...
Feridun Sinirolu: There are some serious shifts in global and regional geopolitics. It now can spread to other places. You said it yourself today, and others agreed… We’re headed to a different game now. We should be able to see those. That ISIL and all that jazz, all those organizations are extremely open to manipulation. Having a region made up of organizations of similar nature will constitute a vital security risk for us. And when we first went into Northern Iraq, there was always the risk of PKK blowing up the place. If we thoroughly consider the risks and substantiate… As the general just said…
Yaar Güler: Sir, when you were inside a moment ago, we were discussing just that. Openly. I mean, armed forces are a “tool” necessary for you in every turn.
Ahmet Davutolu: Of course. I always tell the Prime Minister, in your absence, the same thing in academic jargon, you can’t stay in those lands without hard power. Without hard power, there can be no soft power.

Why would Turley need a false flag when dealing with Syria? Turkey could move on Syria anytime they want and claim it was to prevent a humanitarian crisis. They used to role over the Iraqi border whenever they felt like it and did not need a "false flag" as an excuse. It is not like anybody could stop them evern if they wanted to. Then again what would be the point? Turkey has nothing to gain in Syria. It is mess of a civil war with about 6 different sides at this point. I could see them creating a buffer zone like they used to do in Iraq when the would roll in and clean it out once a year. That of course would not require any reason beyond they want to secure the border. The one thing that has been completely clear is that Turkey, the US and NATO have had a dozen excuses over the last few years to move on Syria if they wanted. They have pretty much avoided that place like the plague.

Yep, it's not that I believe it, but someone in power might well do. And they might want to make it happen.
