Later opposition Syrian Free Army took the responsibility for the explosions.

Turkey probes handover of refugees to Syria

ANKARA A Turkish prosecutor has launched a probe after two Syrian refugees staying in a Turkish border camp were handed over to Syrian security forces, Anatolia news agency reported Friday.

Huseyin Mustafa Harmus and Mustafa Kassum were taken out of a refugee camp in Altinozu, Hatay province, near the Syrian border and delivered to Syrian security forcesby force, said the prosecutors office in southern Adana province, in a statement cited by Anatolia.

Five people including a member of Turkey's National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) were detained and some MIT officials were summoned to testify as part of the probe, it reported.

The investigation centred on accusations of political espionage, said the statement according to Anatolia, without elaborating.

Turkey is home to some 7,500 Syrians who have fled Syrian President Bashar al-Assadï's deadly crackdown on opponents that has left more than 6,000 people dead since mid-March according to human rights groups.

Once a close ally of Syria, Turkey has since been at the forefront of international criticism of the Damascus regime.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also urged his once close friend Assad to quit.

Events in Syria are also starting to spill over into Lebanon.

BEIRUT/TRIPOLI, Lebanon: Shock waves from the Syrian uprising reached new levels in Lebanon Friday as armed clashes rocked the northern city of Tripoli and rattled the country. Gunfire and rocket propelled-grenades were exchanged between the pre-dominantly Alawite Tripoli neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen and mainly Sunni district Bab al-Tabbaneh after midday prayers when 700 people marched from a mosque in Tripoli and demonstrated in the city center against the Syrian government.

Seven people were wounded in the fighting including Jihad Mohammad Sabaa and Khaled Sayadi. Two residents were wounded in the initial fighting while three soldiers were wounded when the Lebanese Army tried to bring the area under control. Two more residents were wounded hours after the clashes when an arms cache exploded in the Abi Samra neighborhood.

Intresting article from Jan on the Israeli-PKK angle.

PKK using Israeli drones to attack Turkish troops' (01/18/2012)

Kurdish militants have access to intel gained from UAVs to set up bases in northern Syria, Turkish daily reports.

Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used in southern Turkey to assist the Kurdistan Worker's Party, a Turkish newspaper reported Tuesday.

The party, known by its acronym PKK, has a long history of violence in pursuit of Kurdish- self rule and is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union.

They would do better to try to prevent it from ever happening rather than prepare for it.

But Armenia is the poodle of America almost as much as the poodle of Russia, so Armenia will say nothing. The American poodling is done mostly for reasons of fashion and flattery, and no foolish or cowardly person goes against what is the current fashion. It is only after a fashion has ended that its followers admit how ridiculous it was and how wrong they were to follow it.

I wouldn't say Armenia is Poodle of America. If it was it would have cooperated in anti-Iranian activities in the region.

Armenia is a fashion poodle when it concerns America. Like one of those dogs that are carried around by celebrities, it wants to be in with the in-crowd and go where the in-crowd meet. There may be stong military and economic advantages, but there is no fashion status in hanging out with Russia. The current rabid bloodlust hate against Syria is driven by fashion - for a country to to go against it would be like its ambassador going to an international diplomatic event wearing an old-fashioned tie with a food stain on it. Of course Armenia is not alone in following this current fashion - but Armenians in Syria will suffer from it, so Armenia more than most countries has a good reason for not following it, and should be vocal in opposing it.

American interests in the region align with Turkish interests. Armenia cannot be a poodle of america, because it will mean becoming poodle of turkish interests. Russia is the best option and much more reliable friend. They share similar strategic concerns as us. Our relationship with the US is just some silver coating. There isn't any substance to it. If it was for ANCA, Armenia would be written off as a hostile country, made part of "Axis of Evil" and so forth.

Inferiority complex. Scotland still is not an independent country. What a shame, what a failed poodle nation it is.

Armenians, don't take this xxxxxcat serious. He is just an old frustrated Scott, can't blame him! Would feel exactly the same.
