Turkey says that more than 1,500 Syrian refugees crossed its border on
Thursday as Syrian forces stormed to the region in their latest show of force
against anti-government protesters.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Friday that more than 11,700 Syrians are
now housed in massive tent encampments in Turkey even as the Syrian troops have
moved within 500 meters of the border.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the border scene "very
worrisome" and warned Syria to pull its troops back. She said their presence is
worsening an already bad situation for refugees and risks sparking border
clashes with the Turks.
Clinton told reporters in Washington that the Syrian military should
immediately end attacks and provocations in the region. She said the buildup of
soldiers near the Turkish border is another sign of Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad's intent to repress the Syrian people.
