Syria tightening border with Turkey

[SyrianChristianPatriot]

The Turkish border with Syria has long been known for the smuggling of goods back and forth, but with the uprising against President Bashar Assad, it is Syrians themselves who are trying to sneak past security.

Thousands of Syrians are now living in four refugee camps on the Turkish side of the 900-kilometre border the countries share.

Last week alone, 300 Syrians fled into Turkey. Turkey says Syrians are welcome to cross the border into their country but in reality, it is not that simple.

Syrians have to sneak past increasingly frequent military patrols and the weather has taken a cold, snowy turn.

Several Syrians spoke to CTV News' Martin Seemungal on the Turkish side of the border. They are still worried about Syrian intelligence officers and covered their faces for the cameras.

Some Syrians are working in Turkey to secure support and weapons for the fight against troops loyal to Assad.

"If the outside world doesn't want to use their force, their army, their equipment, at least they can give us some weapons to use," Balil Dahoud told CTV News.

I just wish that the lunatic soldiers of a lunatic tyrant are stupid enough to poke Turkey , that would be enough to give asad a taste of a real war. Asad is a cur who prays on the defenseless , i just hope he is stupid enough to poke Turks , I truly hope so.
