Groups of militants in Aleppo attempted to take one of the government
buildings in a district were the Armenian community is large. The
government troops stopped the attempt. The operation, which lasted
about 2 hours, ended when the authority resorted to air force and
drove the militants back. Fortunately, Armenians didn't sustain
losses. Presently, it's already comparatively calmer and the shots
have stopped.
At the same time, the Turkish media inform that Turkish lawyer Osman
Karahan was killed in the battles in Aleppo. Karahan, once the advocate
of al-Qaeda members, left for Syria months ago and became a member
of military groupings.
Baghdad has numerously stated that there are many Turkish, Afghan
and Arab militants among the militants, who fight against the Syrian
army as mercenaries. Lately, an interview with the member of the
opposition Free Syrian Army Twaiba Kanafan was published on BBC,
where Twaiba tells how the militants are trained in Turkey.
Yesterday, Damascus stated a Turkish general, who commanded rebel
forces, was arrested in Aleppo. Ankara disconfirms that information,
but our Syrian sources are sure the general was arrested.
