Turkey is going to intervene..set up a sanctuary, give out arms, already been suggested they have been doing so, to the insurgents..then we see what we will see.
My reading between the lines comes from this short staement from the Turkish side..

"On the diplomatic front, the Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, urged Syria to immediately end its deadly crackdown, threatening it with unspecified "steps" if it fails to do so.
Davutoglu said the bloodshed must end "immediately and without conditions or excuses."
"If the operations do not end, there would be nothing more to discuss about steps that would be taken," he said, without saying what that action could include

Syrian troops have kept up their assault on the coastal city of Latakia for a third day, reportedly killing three people.
Residents told Al Jazeera that the army was using heavy machine guns and tanks, and had rounded up people in a sports stadium in the city on Monday.
"As of 10GMT, the army instructed all residents in southern and southeastern Latakia to evacuate", Al Jazeera's Nisreen El-Shamayleh, reporting from the Jordanian side of the Jordan-Syria border, said.
According to activists, most people started fleeing to the heart of the city and there Syrian troops arrested many of them.
"They transported them on buses to the sports city stadium and there they're being held captured, stripped of their IDs and mobile phones," El-Shamayleh said.
She said residents called the assault the "most atrocious attack" since protests against President Bashar al-Assad's government began five months ago.
The Syrian Revolution Co-ordinating Union, a grassroots activists' group, said three people were killed by security forces on Monday, bringing the total killed since Saturday to at least 31 civilians
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said one of the three was killed after troops opened fire as a group of fleeing residents approached a checkpoint in the Ein Tamra district of Latakia.
"People are trying to flee but they cannot leave Latakia because it is besieged. The best they can do is to move from one area to another within the city," a witness told Reuters.
'Outright murder'
On the diplomatic front, the Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, urged Syria to immediately end its deadly crackdown, threatening it with unspecified "steps" if it fails to do so."
