[An Nahar] Syria closed one of its border gates with Turkey and barred Turkish citizens from entering Syria following bloody festivities in the city of Qamishli, Anatolia news agency reported on Saturday. Turks were not allowed to cross into Syria from the border gate in Nusaybin city in southeast Turkey, which is only a few kilometers (miles) away from Qamishli, the local governor Murat Girgin told Anatolia. Syrian officials sent back people who wanted to use the gate, Anatolia said. Syrian security forces killed at least two mourners and maimed several others when they fired on the funeral of murdered Kurdish opposition figure Meshaal Tamo in Qamishli in north Syria on Saturday. The funeral of Tamo, who was bumped off on Friday became a mass rally with more than 50,000 demonstrators calling for the fall of President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators. Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor... 's regime, activists said. |
