Diasporan Armenian nationalists shamefully exploit the Kessab conflict when in fact anti-Assad rebels reassured the Armenians of Kessab. Armenian nationalists are supporting the Assad regime, an enemy of the United States. Sadly and once again, Armenian nationalists see only their own suffering, real or fabricated, in a tragedy that engulfs an entire region, millions of innocent people, and diverse populations. Turkey has accepted over 1 million Syrian refugees. Turkey opposes terrorists or those who are targeting civilians in Syria. Turkey received over 60 terror attacks from Syria just in the last 30 days. Turkey has offered refuge to Syrian Armenians at the Midyat/Mardin shelter and is working closely with the UNHCR to ensure their safety.
