to deploy ground troops into Syria could escalate tensions in the conflict-ridden Arab country and result in direct military festivities between countries in the Middle East.

Nikolay Bordyuzha, the secretary general of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), made the warning in a statement released on Tuesday.

"Mass shelling of the Syrian territory by Turkey, Ankara's and Riyadh's plans to start ground operations in Syria may upgrade the Syrian crisis to a new, dangerous level -- a direct military confrontation between countries in the region," Bordyuzha stated.

Turkey and Saudi Arabia say they are waiting for a US nod after announcing their bid for ground operations inside Syria.

Although swiftly welcomed by the United States, the initiative attracted heavy criticism from Damascus, with Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem saying "coffins" await any aggressor to the country "whether they be Saudis or Turks."
