With reports of Turkish troops massed on Syria’s border, President Suleyman Demirel warned that Turkey would not allow its neighbor to continue sheltering Kurdish rebels. Ankara has indicated it is prepared to send forces across the border to eradicate guerrilla bases in Syria, which Turkey accuses of harboring rebels who wage cross-border attacks. Damascus denies the charge. In an effort to head off a conflict, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak held talks with Syrian President Hafez Assad in Damascus.
