Looks like a Turkey day today. Anyway, it appears that Turkish navy got its marching orders (or is it swimming orders in case of the navy?) The orders are code named "Plan Barbarossa". The article is almost unreadable, but so far no other source in English:
This framework is created to ensure the security of the Eastern Mediterranean, going back to Operation Shield, serving Mediterranean frigates, fast patrol boats, submarines, helicopters, maritime patrol aircraft, coast guard boats with an increase in the number of destinations. Barbarossa aims to show the Turkish Navy's sea being the Action Plan, the Turkish Naval Forces, as well as the Mediterranean Sea and the Aegean Sea, Adriatic Sea, Red Sea and Indian Ocean, is aiming to be found constantly in süyrüsefer.I leave the "süyrüsefer" for your disposal for now, whatever it means...
Just to make it clear: this Barbarossa is a Turkish one, one Hayreddin Barbarossa, a corsair and an admiral, not the other Frederick Barbarossa, the German worthy in whose name the Nazi Operation Barbarossa was named.
Was a failure too, if my memory serves me right.

Ah basically they are trying for a general show of strength in their part of Mare Nostrum... and the Red Sea?
Yeah, dick waving on the high seas...
Little men talk with their fists. Remember this, Turkey was the first nation to commit Genocide in the 20th Century. They will do it again given half a chance.
Not that easy this time around. Let's see how quickly they make an impression on Syria...
I have to say that I don't fancy their chances against both the Israeli navy _and_ the Israeli air force. They've got yhe best small army in the world, and if I were a Turkish military commander, I'm not sure I'd want to bet the Israelis having the best navy and air force ditto.
But I hope it doesn't come to that and it's just chest-beating.
from haber monitor (the site you linked to):
" Barbarossa Plan "According to the Mediterranean Sea Shield will expand with the security of the Eastern Mediterranean. Thus, the Adriatic, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, will be the domain of existence of the Turkish Navy.
when did the indian ocean become part of the mediterranean? of course, the language of this quote seems about as incomprehensible as the as the "action plan" itself.
All the other areas were clearly thrown in to show that this plan is not only about Israel. Anyway, let them puff themselves up.
I hope too. No matter what the outcome, if the push cames to shove, it could be bloody.
Operation Barbarian, more like.
Oh, I am afraid I have to disagree, they have quite a big and modern army. And navy.
That's not what I meant.
I know ;)
