he Russian delegation to the United Nations said the Security Council
refused to take a stand on the attack perpetrated against Kassab,
thereby unveiling the support of several of its members for the
actions of Al-Qaeda.
On 21 March, the Turkish army penetrated Syrian territory to introduce
several hundred jihadists, affilitated to the Al-Nusra Front
(Al-Qaeda) and the Army of Islam (pro-Saudi). They seized the town of
Kassab, mainly populated by the Syro- Armenian descendents of the
Turkish massacre survivors 1915. When the Syrian Arab army intervened
to defend the city, the Turkish army downed one of its support
aircraft. The people of Kassab fled under the protection of the Syrian
government in Latakia .
Moreover, the Russian Foreign Ministry called on the representatives
of the externally-based Syrian opposition who participated in the
Geneva 2 Conference to refrain from any contact with terrorist groups.
