The article examines the battle at the border between Syria and Turkey in October 2012. Topics include the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) statement demanding that the Syrian regime stop attacks against its ally Turkey, why Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims Turkey responded to attacks by Syrian border forces, and the possibility that the conflict will incite Iran to increase its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
