Turkey helps the rebels in the fight against President Assad of Syria and also supports war criminals, suing the human rights organization Human Rights Watch. Ankara this policy could take revenge soon.

In August, rebel killed in the Syrian province of Latakia at least 190 civilians. They bragged about the killings, documented the exploits on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Target of their attacks were Alawites, the jihadists would thus avenge the massacre of Sunni families, for they make the dictator Bashar al-Assad responsible. The jihadists see Assad’s Alawite board as supporters.

The human rights organization Human Rights Watch has published this Friday a 89-page report, in which she denounces this carnage in Latakia. “You can still see her blood,” it is overwritten. Subtitle: “executions, excluding National killings and kidnappings by opposition forces in Latakia.”

The report also sharply criticized neighboring Turkey for supporting insurgents. The human rights while relying on information provided by the security forces, journalists, Western diplomats and development workers.

* Would therefore most of the foreign fighters who operated in northern Syria, organize their entry to Turkey. An aid worker reported, some insurgents would fly in the                    Turkish city of Hatay, where picked up by other fighters and taken to Syria.

* Likewise, they would get their weapons, money and other supplies from there.

* Wounded fighters are treated in Turkey.

Diplomats expressed concern about the role of Turkey. One told Human Rights Watch that it would be far more fighters with a European citizenship to Syria than go to Afghanistan or Iraq. That Turkey enables this was problematic. Among the opposition, the fight against Assad, have mixed several Islamist groups over time. These include at least two organizations that are connected to the terrorist network al-Qaeda.

Human Rights Watch asked by letter to the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who measures his country actually meet, to ensure that no fighters crossed the border into Syria and there committed war crimes. Also wanted to know what steps Ankara in the investigation and prosecution of such war criminals take. The request had not been answered at the time of publication of the report, said the human rights organization.

Syria Civil War:Ankara wants necessary to send troops to Syria

Before the beginning of civil war in Syria two years ago still friendly relations between Syria and Turkey has now turned into hostility. President Assad warned the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in front of “serious consequences” of his rebel-friendly policies.

Turkey would “very soon pay a very high price for it,” that she supported the “terrorists” as Assad called the rebels last week on the Turkish television Halk TV. “Terrorism can not keep ready a playing card in the pocket of one. Because terrorism is like a scorpion, which does not hesitate to stab at the first opportunity,” he warned. About Erdogan said Assad, he spread “a pack of lies” about Syria. “Erdogan does nothing more than support the terrorists.”

Recently, the Turkish parliament has approved plans, if necessary, to send troops to Syria. Because actually prepares the development in Syria politicians in Ankara increasingly concern. “We need to think about how we protect our border better,” said a deputy of the ruling AK Party. But this is not his intention was that fighters could no longer seep into Syria, but rather to prevent their return to Turkey. “We do not want terrorism to spread to Turkish territory.”
