Turkish government officials announced today that Russya is taking part in " ethnic cleansing" in parts of Syria. This comes on the heels of Russyan bombers dropping their ordnance on suspected rebel positions in Syria. The Turks say the bombs were dropped on Turkmen and Sunnis who not only are not part of ISIS, but opposition fighters against the Al Assad regime. The official says that Russya is only trying to keep its naval bases open in Syria on the Med Coast.
It appears to international observers and media that the accusations are at least partly true. Turkish peshmerga fighters have been operating in Syria to push back against ISIS where they have taken territory claimed by Kurds, ethnic Turks who seek a separate state.
Meanwhile, Mr. Putin is trying to figure out his next move.
In Greece
Greek authorities have removed refugees on the border with Macedonia to other locations to take pressure off local police and military guards in that sector. The government says that true refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, and Irag will be given status; others will be returned to their country of origin. Some Africans who seek economic improvement have taken tosewing their mouths shut so as to hinder efforts of immigration officials to determine the country of origin. Good luck with that.
