Been going on for a while now. I just posted a video today of them trying to take one down with heavy machine fire. I remember seeing video a few days ago of one buzzing over Idlib and firing rockets all over the place. Looked like the whole village was burning.Originally Posted by xav
Now I see that you resort to distorting what I write.
Time will tell if Erdo's policy of rattling sabres and not actually doing anything will pay off with Assad.
I am quite sure Assad has realised that Erdogan is all talk. After all his troops shot fugitives WITHIN Turkey without facing any consequence.
"- Hezbollah also condemned the attack and said the the al Jadeed team is paying the tax on the their courage in covering the events"
Stay classy, Hezbollah.
Wat? They actually are saying the men were brave, but that bravery has a toll. Just like any other news outlet out there.
hold on .....

According to Turkish officials, Syrian troops pursued rebels across the border following an attack on a checkpoint that killed six soldiers. Two Syrian nationals, described as civilian, were subsequently shot dead as they tried to escape to the nearby Killis refugee camp.
It was unclear whether the two victims had already crossed the frontier but five more people – including a Turkish policeman – were later shot and wounded, this time indisputably on Turkish soil.
but but but .......... we were told that it was an unprovoked attack?!!
What I understood was there were two attacks yesterday. One targeting refugees fleeing to Turkey and another shooting at refugees in the camp.
Michel Aoun's TV station simply blamed al-Jadeed... Don't know who is worse.
l can say Turkey is not eager for any action . Assad's days are also numerous .

In a telephone conversation with Annan, Lavrov "put special emphasis on the fact that the Syrian opposition and countries supporting it must also take urgent measures aimed at providing for a stable ceasefire, calling on Annan to increase work with them in that direction," it said.
http://www.interfax.co.uk/russia-cis...yria-lavrov-3/April 10 (Interfax) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said he had received assurances from his Turkish counterpart that Ankara will not make any unilateral moves in Syria.
Distorting? As in you writing that I make up excuses for Assad. Once again, you're advocating the bombing of a country without knowing the facts on the ground. Look at themacedonian post above me and tell me Turkey bombing Syria is still a good idea.
