the BBC's Orla Guerin in Akcakale on the Turkish-Syrian border

Here in Akcakale, it is not a sign of any Turkish military build-up, but on both sides of The Border wall, it is a feeling That an offensive will come, and probably soon.

There is no indication That the crescendo of international concern is the change in the Turkey 's plans for the establishment of a "safe zone".

dozens of TV cameras - local and international - are now formed on the boundary wall.
