Syrian refugees stranded on Turkish border

Recommended Posts

should these refugees be absorbed into the turkish population - or be allowed to return to their homes when the military has left the area...

Quote

Hundreds of Syrian refugees were camping in the countryside Tuesday night, stranded a few hundreds yards away from the Turkish border after fleeing violence in the Syrian town of Jisr Al-Shugur.

One of them, a woman named Um Ahmed, said she and her daughters have been stuck there for days.

"The Syrian regime is saying that we asked the army to come (to Jisr Al-Shugur)," she said, speaking to CNN by mobile phone. "We didn't ask the army to come because all they do is kill us. Jisr Al-Shugur is a city of ghosts now."

Ahmed said she handed out flowers to protesters at anti-government demonstrations that were later attacked by Syrian security forces.

The Turkish foreign ministry has confirmed that more than 4,000 Syrians have now crossed the border with thousands more expected to follow.

Foreign ministry deputy under-secretary Halit Cevik said 4,300 Syrians had already fled to Turkey with many more nearing the border, AP reports.

"Turkey welcomed a great many number of guests in the past in their times of most dire need. We can do that again," he told the state-run Anatolian news agency.

Witnesses in the border province of Hatay said a tent hospital was being set up at the site of one of the refugee camps. The Radikal newspaper said Turkey would establish a buffer zone if the number of refugees exceed 10,000.

An activist helping to co-ordinate the movement of refugees at the Syrian border said the area had already "turned practically into a buffer zone."

The man, who identified himself only as Abu Fadi, told AP: "Families have taken shelter under the trees and there are 7,000 to 10,000 people here now."

Well that's good, but if Turkey had decided to say NO it is not like anyone could complain legitimately.



Just another example of DDs and his fellow travellers failures of their hero's and buddies in Syria, Lebannon and Palistinian territories where they want so desparately to believe in the Arab heaven on earth.

an indication of the further violence that might be in store was also on show. For the first time, refugees were seen to be openly carrying high velocity and Kalashnikov assault rifles, and some were defiant.

“For every one person the regime arrests or kill there are ten more to take their place and continue the fight,” said Haytham, a young man sitting in a tent full of medical supplies.

There is little chance of western intervention because Russia and China are blocking United Nations resolutions to condemn the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

You are forgetting a FEW historical facts Bubba. When people make very bad decisions in life... they usually have to live with the consequences...
Only idiots believe in do-overs.

Hey... you should go to Syria... you have a lot in common with them...
hatred of Israel.. makes for strange bedfellows.:ph34r:

If they return Assad and their militant government will resume killing them (maybe because they have "different traditions and different history" ...just speculating since that prospect has been mentioned before regarding the racist treatment of the Palestinians by the Arabs). So they remain in Turkey. We will see if Turkey treats the Arab refugees any better than the Pals are treated in the Arab concentration camps. So far, so good considering the unexpected influx and the numbers of folks involved. I think that one of the first things the Turks did was set up hospital tents ...a good first step. Obviously not a good situation to be in but better than being killed by your Arab brothers.

which is the situation the palestinians found themselves in when the israelis (who were doing the killing at the time) forced them out of their homes and villages to foreign countries...

this thread is about refugees - and what should happen to them.



No it's not. It's about your one-issue obsession. You've long since grown boring about it.



your one issue obsession seems to be me - now toddle along and find a thread that interests you...
