Estimations and assertions that Turkish soldiers should be present in the international peace force to be formed for Lebanon, have caused unease in Ankara. FM spokesperson, Mr. Namık Tan, stated, "It is unimaginable to form any kind of peace force in an atmosphere of continuing intense clashes such as this." Other Turkish diplomatic sources confirmed similar feelings.
