Syria

1 September 2012

A recent Hurriyet Daily News piece (1 September 2012) on Syria, “Syrian rebels: Too fragmented, unruly,” offers valuable insight and analysis, by an impressive and talented Turkish journalist, Ipek Yezdani, who has been to Armenia many times and already has a very serious body of work on Armenian-Turkish normalization.

According to Ipek Yezdani, “the opposition militants battling Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are a fragmented rabble that refuses to follow orders, according to activists.  There are more than 30 different rebel groups, including the most prominent rebel group, the “Free Syrian Army” (FSA), fighting in Syria, according to officials from the most prominent Syrian opposition group, the Syrian National Council (SNC).”
