Turkey has announced plans for one of the world\u2019s biggest perimeter border fences along the 560-mile border with Syria after a suicide bomb left 32 dead in the border town of Suruc.<\/p>\n

The Turkish government is determined to combat terrorism and has decided on the radical physical barrier. Although the execution will take a good deal of work, it will be relatively simple in its design. A 150-mile concrete wall topped with razor wire will be the centrepiece, together with a strengthened fence and a dedicated patrol road that deals<\/a> with the other 400 miles of the border. Security fencing<\/a> is more than good enough for one of the toughest borders in the world, then.<\/p>\n

Drones, mobile surveillance vehicles and a central command and control centre will also contribute to the security<\/a> effort. With fighters heading to Syria travelling freely through Turkey for several years, the government knows it fights with its hands to stem the tide of refugees joining the ranks of ISIS.<\/p>\n

The bombing in Suruc seemed to target the Kurdish community, which has inflamed local racial tensions and brought accusations that the government<\/a> actually backs attacks against the Kurds. The Turkish government has fiercely denied these rumours and has acted fast to develop a radical plan to protect the border and be seen actively fighting the growing threat of terrorism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, Turkey\u2019s proximity to the volatile Syrian border<\/a> means that a wall is the most obvious and effective means of controlling traffic in and out of the country. Of course, it is no guarantee, but the physical barriers and border fences will give the government a chance of protecting<\/a> the vulnerable towns along the border and give its citizens peace of mind.<\/p>\n

The US has pledged its support and will help construct the modular wall, 150km long. In addition, wire fencing<\/a> will be reinforced along the rest of the border, supported with a 200-mile ditch and an increased military presence. Around half of Turkey\u2019s border patrol is focused on Syria. Considering Turkey also shares borders with Iraq, Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Greece and Bulgaria, this is a remarkable resource share.<\/p>\n

With increasingly advanced surveillance, it speaks volumes that a government would commit this much time, money and resource to build a traditional wall. There is no substitute for a physical barrier to keeping unwelcome people out, is the clear message.<\/p>\n
