Moscow (AFP) - Russia on Thursday accused Turkey of actively preparing to invade Syria, saying it had spotted troops and military equipment on the border with the war-torn country.
"We have serious grounds to suspect Turkey is in intensive preparations for an armed invasion of the territory of a sovereign state -- the Syrian Arab Republic," the defence ministry said in a statement.
Ankara said earlier Thursday that it had refused to allow a Russian reconnaissance plane to overfly its territory near Syria because of a disagreement over the flight plan.
Russia said Turkey had not given Moscow any clear explanation for the decision.
"Moreover, we are recording more and more signs of covert preparations by the Turkish armed forces for active action on Syrian territory," it said, adding that Russia has ramped up reconnaissance in the Middle East.
"So if someone in Ankara believes that the cancellation of the flight by Russian monitors would allow (them) to hide something then this is unprofessional."
The defence ministry, citing reconnaissance data, said Turkey had recently expanded a parking lot for heavy-duty trucks on the border as well two smaller parking lots in rebel-controlled Syria.
"Such sites are used to secure a quick movement of military columns containing ammunition and weapons to a theatre of operations as well as a fast transfer and evacuation of personnel," it said.
Moscow said it had recorded plenty of such examples at the Syrian-Turkish border "including the presence of troops and military equipment".
Russia also said it was surprised that representatives of Pentagon, NATO and human rights organisations in Syria did not issue any reaction.
The Turkish foreign ministry declined to immediately comment on the Russian claim.
Uturuki ni mwanachama wa NATO,najiuliza maswali haya
1:Endapo Uturuki ataivamia Syria, Urusi itachukua hatua gani???kuongeza mashambulizi ya anga inayoyafanya Syria au Na yeye Urusi ataingiza wanajeshi Syria??!!
2:Uturuki ni mwanachama wa NATO, inamaana kama Urusi wataingiza wanajeshi Syria ili kumsaidia Assad hapa atakua anapigana na NATO indirectly??
3:Iran ni mshirika mkubwa wa Syria,nae response yake itakuaje??
==>Uturuki anajiamini nini maana Obama alitishia kupeleka wanajeshi kipindi kile silaha za kemikali zimetumika lakini hakupeleka,na naona mbinu ya kuwapa silaha waasi inashindwa kufua dafu kwenye airstrikes za mrusi,
Pia naona Marekani na washirika wake wanasua sua kuwapa silaha nzito waasi kama ant aircraft missile nk kwa kua Assad wakati machafuko yanaanza Syria aliamua kuwafungulia wafungwa wengi "extremists",nadhani alitumia uziefu wa libya akajua kinachofuata kwaiyo ilikua ni mbinu ya kuzuia waasi wasipewe support na west kwa kuwahofia extremists
Mwisho nadhani mgogoro was Syria unaingia katika sura mpya
