The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he has no intention of starting a war with Syria, but he warned nobody should test Turkey's determination to defend its citizens. He was speaking after a vote in parliament following a cross-border mortar attack on Wednesday. James Robbins reports.

土耳其总理雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安说无意与叙利亚开战，但他警告说，任何人都不能试验土耳其包围人民的决心。周三发生越境追击炮袭击后，他在议会投票后发表这番言论。詹姆斯·罗宾斯报道。

Turkish MPs voted to authorize their troops to attack targets across the border inside Syria. But Turkish Deputy Prime Minister insisted this was a deterrent not a mandate for war. Turkey has already been firing at targets inside Syria since yesterday's Syrian shelling of the town of Akcakale which killed two women and three children. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister said Syria had accepted responsibility for the deaths and apologized. Neither country seems to want a war and there is no appetite among Turkey's Nato allies for military conflict, but still the situation remains dangerous.
