Christians Flee Syria’s Kessab, Twitter Cries Atrocities, Armenia Accuses Turkey -- RT
The Syrian Army is trying to retake the Christian majority town of Kessab reportedly seized by al-Qaeda-linked forces. The attack made hundreds of ethnic Armenians flee and caused international outcry with Armenia blaming Turkey for supporting extremists.
Kessab – located in Syria’s Latakia province, near the border with Turkey – fell to rebels sparking a fierce battle in the media as conflicting reports are coming in about the events in the town which is home to over 2,000 ethnic Armenians.
Reportedly, on March 21, extremist groups affiliated with al-Qaeda crossed into Syria from Turkey and seized the town after clashes with Syrian government troops and local self-defense squads.

My Comment: Until this week .... this was Syria's only Armenian-majority town. It does not take a genius to know that it was specifically targeted because it is (or was) a Christian Armenian-majority town. But aside from this atrocity .... the silence from the White House and from Ankara is deafening.
Update: Turkey is denying any role in this latest Syrian war crime .... but this attacked was launched from the Turkish border .... and because of it's location no one is believing their denials of involvement (including this blogger).
