I've covered Turkey for 20 years. Its hard to grasp what's happened tonight. It seems to be a total breakdown of Turkish foreign policy, a domestic issue unlike it, leaving a country sad, angry+confused. And, still fears+chatter of number of soldiers killed rising. Just terrible.
Now official number is 33 soldiers killed. The numbers are being slowly dripped to the public and some place the number higher than this. Currently 4:15 AM, Turkey will be awaking to a new day soon, and people are going to want answers from a gov that got them into this quagmire.
And, in the middle of the night, the TV stations have been playing videos of the Turkish army targeting the Syrian regime. The rhetoric seems to be placing emphasis on Syria and not Russia, even if all reports placed Russia as being responsible for the strike on Turkish soldiers. 
Many reported about this protest in front of Russian consulate in Istanbul. A drop in the bucket--had gov wanted there'd be thousands of people there in a minute. Another sign that--at least for now--direction of anger will be directed to Syrian regime.
