Překlad - Turecky-Anglicky - Türkiye yol ağızına yaklaÅŸtıkça,saflar...

"saflar belirmek"in mecazi anlamini cok detayli olarak bilmek isterim. (kolay bir turkce ile comment yerine yazabilirseniz memnun olurum)

yol ağzı can also be translated as beginning of the road.
i used groups/factions because it means: as the situation drew closer, the stakes were being raised, the(different interest) groups within turkey became apparent.
In english "the trenches were dug" or "the lines were drawn" could be used
