Turkey became a rear base for the rebels to the Syrian regime, where the radical Islamist fighters hold their attacks. All in the apparent indifference of the international community.

Recent events in Ukraine have provisionally released the attention of the international community on the current developments of the Syrian crisis, and in particular the fighting currently taking place at the Turkish border. It’s just if a dispatch from press reported that the Turkish army has killed a hunter who bombed Syrian rebels.
The growing involvement of Turkey in the conflict should however be an additional cause for concern. For if the economic objective of Ankara bring down the regime of Bashar Assad is possibly consistent with the wishes of the West, the methods used should generate the greatest concern. Turkey is indeed becoming a major regional “hubs” of international terrorism, far ahead of other states that have been dragging this reputation.
The latest example of Turkish practices that began March 21. In the morning, radical Islamists have penetrated Syrian territory from three bases in Turkey to tackle Township Kessab. To this end, the Islamist fighters identified as belonging to Jabhat Al-Nosra recently renamed Al-Qaeda in the Levant, are necessarily passed between the Turkish army barracks. The fighting is still ongoing but is reported from reliable sources that the Islamists wounded were repatriated to Turkey, where their care is provided. It is in this context that occurred the episode of the downed aircraft.
Kessab is not any village in Syria. It was indeed the last village of Ottoman Armenia: an administrative oddity Kessab was the only village linked to Syria when France shamefully abandoned the Sanjak of Alexandretta to Kemalist in 1938.
