Turkey is funneling Islamist and other fighters from more than 80 countries into Syria and will ultimately pay a heavy price for its association with “terrorists,” according to Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad.
The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government “is responsible for the blood of tens of thousands of Syrians,” Assad said, according to the transcript of an interview with Turkey’s Halk TV and Yurt newspaper today. “These terrorists enter Syria from neighboring countries, primarily Turkey.”
