The increased refugee flow from northern Syria amid the conflict in Syria’s Azaz and Aleppo regions – two strongholds of the Syrian opposition – reached the Turkey border on Feb. 5 as Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said they expected around 70,000 refugees, including Turkmens, to flock to the Turkey-Syria border.

Now is the time for Assad to show some televised compassion towards these refugees, perhaps with a personal visit to the recently freed areas of Aleppo. That would undercut Al-Nusra and the FSA in a big way, and save a lot of SAA lives.

These pussys should have been killing their islamo ISIS captors. Go Putin and Assad and wipe out the islamo petulance.

It’s sad to see the islam mosques remain standing. They should be the first to go...on a Friday.

“with more compatriots also expected to head toward the frontier.”

Is ‘compatriots’ Islamic for ‘brothers in arms’?

IMHO, it reminds me of Brooklyn’s Pitken Avenue in the 70s and 80s..

When Syria is empty, the Russians can re-plant orthodox Christianity there.
