Haber.sol website of Turkey posted a video which proves that the terrorist groups had entered Syria’s predominantly Armenian-populated town of Kessab from Turkey, and with assistance by the Turkish authorities.

Militants from the Al-Nusra and Islamic Front groups, which entered Syria from Turkey, have made a video recording of how  freely they cross the Turkish-Syrian border checkpoint, and no Turkish border officer interferes with their crossing the boundary, Haber.sol reported.

In the early morning on March 21, armed militants from the Jabhat al-Nusra Islamic terrorist group infiltrated into northern Syria’s Latakia Governorate, which is predominantly inhabited by Armenians and Alawites. Two large groups of terrorists had launched the attack from Turkey. Numerous displaced Kessab Armenians are currently sheltered in Latakia city. On March 23, Turkish fighter planes downed a Syrian military aircraft that was conducting a mission against the Islamic terrorists in Kessab. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had promised Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia of the Armenian Apostolic Church to do everything possible to protect the Armenians in Kessab.
