The Turkish military is actively assisting foreign-backed Sunni Islamic militants who are routing Christian Armenians from the northwestern Syrian town of Kassab, Syrian and Lebanese sources told the WND website exclusively today (April 12, 2014).
The Armenians are being forced to seek refuge in the Syrian city of Latakia.
The attack on Armenian Christians in Syria by Turkey has brought back memories of the Ottoman Turk attacks on Christian Armenians. The Turkish attacks beginning in 1915 and lasting until 1923 killed more than 1.5 million Armenians and have been regarded by many historians as genocide -- something that Turkey denies to the present day. As a result, many hundreds of thousands of Armenians fled to neighboring Syria and Lebanon to seek refuge and reestablish Armenian communities.
In addition to some 120,000 Armenian Christians, the government of Syria's embattled Shiite-Alawite President Bashar al-Assad has been protecting Christian Syriacs, Marionites, and Eastern Orthodox believers.
