Mr Erdogan's insinuation of a U.S.-hatched conspiracy is lent credence by the leading global media corporation's depiction of Erdogan, since the beginning of the anti-government protests in May 2013, as a leader who is deeply hostile to Western values and liberties. The motive behind this domestic and global disinformation campaign is to obfuscate the Erdogan government's utmost complicity in the NATO-led genocidal war on Syria, not to mention the war crimes against Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is also worth noting that YouTube is notorious for censoring material that exposes the crimes against the people and government of Syria, whilst systematically promoting anti-Syria propaganda. 44
Actually, this "leak" is a highly sophisticated WikiLeaks-style psy-ops which seeks to divert attention away from the utterly criminal cross-border offensive on Kasab by NATO-backed mercenary forces and the Turkish Armed Forces. Furthermore, on April 1 the Syrian government has revealed that the aim of the offensive on Kasab is to keep the Syrian army busy so that the mercenary forces in Damascus could carry out a false-flag chemical attack 45 :
"There's nothing called international community, unfortunately," al-Jaafari said, "we directed two letters to the Security Council to have the countries that keep talking about the threats of chemical weapons to pressure the countries sponsoring and funding these terrorist groups -- specifically the Turkish, Saudi, and Qatari governments -- to prevent such terrorist acts by pressuring these gangs and terrorist gangs," adding that now this matter is in the hands of the [U.N.] Security Council. [...]
"These terrorist groups came from Turkish territories and were covered by Turkish artillery, tanks and aircrafts so that they aren't engaged by the Syrian Army in that area, with the purpose of the Turkish military involvement being an attempt to distract the Syrian Army form these terrorist groups so that they may commit their heinous acts," he said. 46
Over the last three years, Turkey and its NATO-led allies have totally exposed themselves and exhausted their credibility by blatantly resorting to all sorts of false-flag attacks imaginable against Syria in order to topple President Bashar al-Assad and/or instigate a war.
In fact, Turkey has a long history of false flag attacks on Syria, including a failed assassination attempt on the then-President Hafez al-Assad in 1996. 47 A selection of news reports from 2011 and 2013 below offer a glimpse of Turkey's utmost criminality.
Flashback to 2011
In late March 2011, only two weeks after the launch of the NATO-led covert war on Syria, CIA director Leon Panetta secretly visited Turkey's border with Syria. 48 A month later, Turkish newspaper Sabah announced Panetta's visit and CIA's cooperation with Turkey over Syria:
"CIA Director Leon Panetta made a surprise visit to Turkey at the end of March [2011]. Panetta's 5 day visit to Ankara was hidden from the public opinion as a top secret. [...] Panetta met with Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) Hakan Fidan, as well as officials from the government and the General Staff of Turkish Armed Forces. [...] During the consultations, it was pointed out that Syria is at a "critical threshold" [...] that the country would be dragged into chaos if Assad doesn't take urgent steps. Details of what was described as Turkey's "classified" [plan] concerning Syria were also discussed. It has been pointed out that the "classified" [plan] entails regime change in Syria" 49
The following day, Sabah revealed Turkey's plan for toppling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad:
"In the face of the escalation of events in Syria, Turkey [has decided] to launch its classified "Plan B" instead of its Plan A which envisaged Assad to remain in power. "Plan B" covers the possibilities of chaos, civil war and migration. [...] [The border provinces of] Hatay, Sanliurfa, Kilis and Mardin have been designated for [setting up] reception camps and field hospitals." 50
What is particularly striking is that this plan of setting up five refugee camps (including two in Hatay) along some 600 kilometres-long segment of the Syrian border was conceived before any violent incident occurred in north Syria.
On May 31st, 2011 Turkey hosted a three-day 'regime change' conference in a five-star hotel in Antalya with the participation of some 300 members of the Syrian opposition. 51,52
