TURKISH Security troops Clash with SYRIAN Kurd
refugees, thousands flee
ISIS . . .
Clashes happened on
Sunday at the Turkish-Syrian border as Turkish security troops fired tear gas
and water cannons on Syrian Kurd refugees trying to flee the onslaught of
Islamic State militants.
Amid the clashes,
Turkish authorities temporarily closed the border, through which at least
70,000 people have fled the violence in Syria this week.
There were
conflicting reports on what triggered the clashes. The state-run Anadolu Agency
said the Kurds started throwing stones at the security forces trying to keep
out a large group of Kurdish onlookers. Private NTV television said the group
wanted to transport aid to Syrian Kurds on the other side of the border.
The altercations
happened after the Kurdish militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) called on
young Turkish Kurds to take up arms and go to Syria to help Kurds against IS
attacks. The PKK has fought for secession from Turkey for three decades and is
considered a terrorist organization by Ankara.
The London-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that more than 300 Kurdish fighters
have crossed into Syria from Turkey lately.

Kurdis Syria telah
melarikan diri ke Turki sejak Selasa, ketika Negara Islam (IS, sebelum ini
dikenali sebagai ISIS) melancarkan operasi serangan terhadap ka-wasan Kurdis dengan penduduk di utara negara ini. IS telah menangkap sekurang-kurangnya 64
buah kampung di sekitar bandar sempadan Ayn al-Arab, yang memanggil Kobani
Kurd.
Menurut anggaran
oleh agensi pelarian PBB, sekurang-kurangnya 70,000 orang Kurdi, kebanyakannya
wanita, kanak-kanak dan warga tua, telah melarikan diri ke Turki sejak Sabtu
sahaja. Jumlah pelarian mungkin setinggi 100,000.
"Saya tidak
fikir dalam 3 setengah tahun yang lalu telah kita lihat 100,000 silang dalam
2 hari. Jadi ini adalah sedikit ukuran bagaimana keadaan ini berlaku, dan
orang-orang takut sangat dalam mempunyai kira-kira hal keadaan di dalam Syria
dan untuk perkara itu, Iraq, "kata Carol Batchelor, wakil UNHCR di Turki.
Terdahulu IS
menyerang wilayah Kurdi di utara Iraq, menghantar berpuluh-puluh ribu orang
awam pada berjalan selama hidup mereka. Kumpulan itu mahu mem-bina sebuah negara
Arab Sunni atau khalifah dari bahagian-bahagian Syria dan Iraq dan ganas
menindas minoriti etnik dan agama.
Syrian Kurds have
been fleeing to Turkey since Tuesday, when the Islamic State (IS, formerly
known as ISIS) launched an offensive operation against Kurd-populated areas in
the north of the country. The IS has captured at least 64 villages around the
border city of Ayn al-Arab, which Kurds call Kobani.
According to
estimates by the UN’s refugee agency, at least 70,000 Kurds, most of them
women, children and elderly people, have fled to Turkey since Saturday alone.
The total number of refugees may be as high as 100,000.
"I don't think
in the last three and a half years we have seen 100,000 cross in two days. So
this is a bit of a measure of how this situation is unfolding, and the very
deep fear people have about the circumstances inside Syria and for that matter,
Iraq," Carol Batchelor, UNHCR's representative in Turkey said.
Earlier the IS
attacked the Kurd territories in the north of Iraq, sending tens of thousands
of civilians on the run for their lives. The group wants to build a Sunni Arab
country or caliphate from parts of Syria and Iraq and is violently persecuting
ethnic and religious minorities.
