Ahmet Davutoglu, primeiro-ministro da Turquia atravessou a fronteira com a Síria para visistar o túmulo de Suleyman Shah, avô do fundador do Império Otomano, onde jurou que a bandeira turca deveria permanecer para sempre.

The Syrian government condemned what it described as Davutoglu’s “infiltration” without its permission.

The tomb of Suleyman Shah, grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Empire, had originally been situated further inside Syria but was relocated to within a few hundred metres of the border in February in a Turkish military operation.
