    SYRIAN KURDS ARREST 12 TURKISH ARMY COMMANDERS

    TEHRAN (FNA)- The Kurdish people residing in Hassakeh province in
    Syria arrested 12 Turkish Army commanders in Amouda city.

    "Last night the popular and self-driven committees affiliated to
    Yekita Democratic party arrested 12 commanders of the Turkish Army in
    Amouda who were affiliated to the country's (Turkey's) intelligence
    apparatus," Spokesman of Yakita Party Sabah Mohsen told FNA on Tuesday.

    He said that the Turkish commanders wanted to reach Aleppo city
    through the roads of Hassahek province and join the terrorist and
    rebel groups in the city.

    In a relevant event on Sunday, the Syrian Army announced that it has
    recently apprehended a Turkish general who commanded the terrorists
    trying to seize control of Aleppo.

    According to an informed source in Syria, the Turkish general was
    arrested during the Syrian Army's clashes with the terrorists in
    Aleppo.

    News reports said that the Turkish general has been taken to Damascus
    for further interrogations.

    Earlier, Turkish media also reported that Syria has detained 40 Turkish
    military officers in different parts of the country, and said that
    efforts to release them have failed.

    Turkey along with the US, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been supporting
    terrorists and rebel groups in Syria and have practically brought a
    UN peace initiative into failure to bring President Assad's government
    into collapse.

    Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized
    attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border
    guards being reported across the country.

    Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have
    been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.

    The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups
    for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated
    from abroad.

    In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state
    after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country,
    but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the
    country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington
    and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope
    of increasing unrests in Syria.
