Turkey will deal harshly with terrorist

Claude Salhani:

"...in selecting Turkey as their new battleground, al Qaeda, or their Turkish affiliates, may have committed a monumental tactical mistake by picking a fight they may well regret. Unlike most Western European countries and the United States, Turkey has a long history of dealing with homegrown terrorism and has always gone about it with a successful, though somewhat, heavy hand. And those tactics have yielded positive results.

"Turkey has had to deal with terrorist activity emanating from its Marxist-Leninist extreme left, Kurdish separatists and Armenian nationalists. And in all instances they have managed to ferret out and cause severe harm to those who have tried to undermine the Turkish state.

"...Turkey will now embark on an unrelenting hunt to track down those involved in this latest wave of terrorism and bring them and those behind it to justice — one way or another.

..."The terrorist war declared by the Islamic fundamentalists on secular Turkey, much as those waged by other extremists groups before it, will motivate the Turks all the more to eradicate this new threat. Mr. Erdogan, speaking only hours after Thursday's attacks vowed the culprits would be found soon: 'Just like we have done in the synagogue incidents.'

"One thing now certain is the gloves will come off."
