TURKEY DOES A 'VERTICAL CHARLIE'

Today Turkey has moved its battle troops and Anti Aircraft Guns towards Turkey-Syrian Border. As per the reports Turkey has given clear Rules of Engagement with Syrian Forces termed them as ‘Enemy’. But until the NATO-Turkey meeting things were quite different. Did Turkey made an unprecedented U-turn from its earlier stand on Syria shooting down its fight jet? Yes, it seems so it had done a complete Vertical Charlie after meeting with NATO representatives. And now, as the things are turning up its clear that NATO is using Turkey and the issue of intercepting the fighter jet to ensure a regime change in Syria.

The details of the shooting down of Turkish F-4 Phantom fighter jet on June 22 by Syrian forces still lays in ambiguity. Syria says it followed the rules of engagement in case of hostile/unidentified aircraft, which was inside the Syrian territory. The Turkish side changed its versions many a times ranging from apology from Syrian side, Joint Search & Rescue Operation by Syria and Turkey and also acceptance of Turkish Jet entering Syrian airspace. But on June 26 after meeting with NATO representatives Turkey changed all its previous versions and said Syria has intentionally attacked the jet and called for strict measures.

What really happened in Brussels on June 26 during NATO Turkey meeting? Why Turkey did suddenly changed its stance? Is NATO Planning to use this incident to bring regime change through force and using Turkey as a key Player?

Also a main question still left unanswered; what really happened over Mediterranean Sea/Syrian airspace on June 22^nd? Was the plane on any recognition mission or it was just an ill-fated lost plane? Many of the mysteries will be uncovered as the things turn in future.
