Turkish forces open fire on protestors in Aleppo

ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) – Turkish forces opened fire on Monday on protestors in the city of al-Atarib in the western countryside of Aleppo, northwestern Syria, as they used tear gas causing cases of suffocations.

The attack by live ammunition and tear gas provoked the protestors to fight back the Turkish forces with stones, as protestors managed to break into the Turkish military post despite the worsening situation inside.

These protests were a response to the racist Turkish acts against the Syrian refugees in the Turkish city of Kayseri.

Residents of the towns and cities under the Turkish occupation and the control of the armed opposition factions, aka the Syrian National Army (SNA), of Aleppo took the streets to condemn acts of discrimination against Syrian refugees in Turkey.
