Turkish military called on all troop commanders stationed along its border with Syria to be present at a meeting aimed at discussing a possible intervention in the crisis-hit country.

The meeting was called by Land Forces Commander General Hulusi Akar and 2nd Army Commander General Adem Huduti following a last week visit to the border region, the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet Daily reported on Sunday.

The meeting is set to take place in the capital city Ankara next week.

The deployment of some 400 armored vehicles and Turkish air force support for such an operation will be on top of agenda at the meeting.

Over the past week, Turkey has bolstered its military presence on its border regions with Syria with tanks, anti-aircraft missiles, and by increasing the number of ground troops to around 54,000 soldiers.
