'New cold war inches closer' after Turkey bombs targets in Syria just hours after Russia's chilling threat

Vladimir Putin, Syria
'A new cold war?' Vladimir Putin is furious with Turkey's action in Syria
Turkey's military has provoked Russian president Vladimir Putin by bombing targets in Syria - just hours after the Kremlin warned that such action could lead to a "new cold war".
The country's army targeted Kurdish militia near the town of Azaz in northern Syria.
A Turkish government source confirmed the attack, despite the Kermlin's warning earlier today that Turkey and Saudi Arabia's proposed anti-ISIS action in the country could lead to a major world conflict.
The source said: "The Turkish Armed Forces fired shells at PYD positions in the Azaz area" referring to the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), which Turkey regards as a terrorist organisation.
Earlier today the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he was fed up of Russia being accused of war crimes in Syria.
