Another Syrian General Defects to Turkey

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Another brigadier general has defected from Syria's army to join the ranks of opposition fighters, pushing the total number of rebel generals based in Turkey to 28, a diplomatic source said Monday.

The general was accompanied by 11 other officers, the source added on condition of anonymity.

Senior Syrian officers have been crossing over into Turkey to link up with rebel forces on a near daily basis in recent months, often accompanied by rank-and-file troops, to join the ranks of the Free Syrian Army.

Turkey is also home to some 44,000 refugees who fled the violence in Syria, currently housed in several camps established along the border.

We hate the regime and we hate everything associated to this regime. We hate Iran, we hate hezbollah, we hate Israel and we hate everything to do with Syrian regime stooges in Lebanon. When will you understand that? Stop watching Al Manar and OTV and maybe you'll see the real side of the story.

habalm, Lebanon already suffered from the work of foreign intervention and lies of the media... of course that foreign intervention was mostly from this Syrian regime and the media lies was it's supporters covering it's crimes, remember?

Nothing this regime is doing in Syria it has not already done in Lebanon.
