Could An Ancient Tomb's Future Decide Whether Turkey Will Fight ISIS.

Is a possible threat to an ancient tomb at the heart of Turkey's debate on whether to step up its role in the fight against ISIS?
The Turkish Parliament is set to vote Thursday on whether to authorize the use of military force against ISIS fighters in Syria and Iraq.

Up until now, Turkey, a NATO member, has declined to join a U.S.-led coalition, offering only tacit support to some 40 nations that make up the group going after ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
But that seems to have changed in recent days, with ISIS on its doorstep, tens of thousands fleeing across its border and reports that the tomb of the grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Empire has been surrounded.

The tomb -- a white marble mausoleum -- is considered a Turkish enclave, despite its location inside Syria. As part of the Treaty of Ankara in 1921, which ended the Franco-Turkish War, Turkey was allowed to keep the tomb, place guards at it and raise a Turkish flag over it.

The motive for the motion being debated by Turkish lawmakers even spells out "increasing security risks" posed to the tomb as one of the reasons, according a report by Anadolu, the semiofficial Turkish news agency.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday dismissed reports that ISIS had surrounded the site.
"In such a case, the response of Turkey would be clear and concise," he said, according to Anadolu.
Newly appointed NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg stressed at his first news conference Wednesday that the defense alliance was committed to protecting Turkey if it comes under attack.
