The Turkish border troops keep on shooting Syrian women and children who try to cross the Syrian - Turkish border to escape the armed conflict in their homeland, writes Gazeta with reference to The Times.

Gazeta reports about eight assassinated Syrians, almost all of those women and children. The group was trying to cross the border taking the mountainous road generally used by smugglers, when the Turkish border guards shot at them with live ammunition.

"They kill unarmed people . There was a little girl who had a gunshot wound. We could not have done more than we did for her, until the night fell. An elderly man and a woman disappeared. It is possible that they killed them as well,” said a lawyer from Aleppo Abdmunem Kashkash who managed to cross the border safely.
