It is funny how you guys are making up stuff by saying that the Free Syrian Army has a “Enver Pasha” and an “Ataturk” brigade. Do you have any sources to back up these claims by any chance? Do you have links or sources to back up those links? Nope, I thought so. Because first of all, there is a big difference between Seculars (Kemalists) and Islamists (Erdogan/AKP), and right now Turkey is controlled by Islamists, so the FSA is supporting an Islamist uprising. So, if Turkey was still controlled by Kemalists, then the Turkish government would not be supporting the FSA then. Because Kemalists mean Secular and Baathists mean Secular, so Secular groups would protect their fellow Secular groups, while they are at it.
not sure of links – so basically Ataturks pictures, statues, etc have all been taken down and removed? how about the pledge the children recite in schools “Ataturk’s anthem”? and that means Turks are free to criticize or even make fun of Ataturk now in political cartoons or will they be harassed / thrown in prison?
There is no such thing as an Ataturk Brigade, you can search it it is very simple, it looks like this is just lazy research and an easy way to brainwash Armenians. By the way, the CHP is against the Turkish governments policy towards Syria, they voted against the military authorization and organized the large protest on the same day. CHP is very similar to the Baath party. So if you are going to make up a false argument at least be consistent, you cannot paint the FSA as a Islamist or radical group while at the same time claiming they are pro-Ataturk. You also seem to be unaware of Ataturk’s image in Muslim Arab Middle East, as a radical secular who abolished the caliphate, created a modern Turkey removing religion from it. Many clerical circles referring to him as an infidel. Unfortunately not many Armenians are free thinkers or even have the common sense to understand this.
