Over 3,000 Syrians flee fighting, cross into Turkey
2015-06-05
[ARABNEWS] Over 3,000 Syrians fleeing festivities between Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and Kurdish fighters have crossed into The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
since Wednesday, a Turkish government official said.

Kurdish forces are trying to drive the snuffies out of Tel Abyad, in Syria's Hassakah province, close to the Turkish border town of Akcakale.

The official said 3,337 Arab Syrians had crossed into Turkey in less than two days to avoid the festivities and bombing raids carried out against IS by a US-led coalition.

The Syrians were being given biometric registration and health checks at Akcakale border crossing, the official added. One aid worker said thousands of people seeking refuge in the last week had been turned back by Turkish border guards, many then heading for different destinations inside Syria.
