It was a shy call on social media that the launchers did not expect to receive all this response.
It seems that it is the day of Syrian anger over the silence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan towards the rapid advancement of the Syrian army forces in the countryside of Idlib and the whole of the “buffer zone”, amid talk of a Russian-Turkish deal that thousands of Syrian citizens headed towards Bab al-Hawa border crossing with Turkey north of Idlib on the Syrian-Turkish border at Atma crossing north of Idlib.
The Turkish gendarmes responded with gunfire among the demonstrators and tear gas. The demonstrators chanted slogans: “The Turkish army is traitor – we demand a halt to the shelling to return to our areas or open the Turkish border in front of us.”

If the people get up, the game ends. To remind you, Erdogan Aleppo fell with the help of Turkey, and Khan Sheikhoun fell and the guarantor fell with it. ”
In Armanaz area of Idlib countryside, the demonstrators chanted “Listen, Bashar, listen, Putin, listen, Erdogan, the Syrian people never bend knee.”
Eyewitnesses from inside the demonstrations said that about one thousand to two thousand demonstrators stormed Bab al-Hawa crossing north of Idlib to condemn the shelling and military campaign of the Syrian government forces and Russia against the province, in light of the Turkish silence and failure to fulfill its equipment as a guarantor party in the agreement describing the escalation.

The sources added that the demonstrators arrived to the Turkish “gendarma”, which confronted them with air fire to disperse them and also used tear gas, injuring a demonstrator, in addition to spraying water.
