敘難民涌入土耳其,克林頓呼籲敘軍後撤

Turkey says that more than 1,500 Syrian refugees crossed its border on Thursday as Syrian forces stormed to the region in their latest show of force against anti-government protesters.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Friday that more than 11,700 Syrians are now housed in massive tent encampments in Turkey even as the Syrian troops have moved within 500 meters of the border.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the border scene "very worrisome" and warned Syria to pull its troops back. She said their presence is worsening an already bad situation for refugees and risks sparking border clashes with the Turks.

Clinton told reporters in Washington that the Syrian military should immediately end attacks and provocations in the region. She said the buildup of soldiers near the Turkish border is another sign of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's intent to repress the Syrian people.土耳其說，1500多名敘利亞難民星期四越過邊境進入土耳其。土耳其外交部長星期五說，超過1萬1千7百名敘利亞人目前在土耳其大規模帳篷營地生活，而敘利亞部隊已經進駐到距離邊境地區只有500米處。

敘利亞部隊在這個地區的進攻還在繼續，向反政府示威者展現武力。

美國國務卿克林頓說，邊境形勢令人十分擔憂，並警告敘利亞從土耳其邊界撤退。克林頓說，敘利亞在那裏部署軍隊使處境已經非常艱難的難民更加困難，而且有引起與土耳其人發生邊境衝突的危險。

克林頓在華盛頓對記者說，敘利亞軍隊應當立即停止在該地區的襲擊和挑釁。她說，在土耳其邊界附近集結軍隊是敘利亞政府企圖鎮壓本國人民的又一跡象。

星期四早上，敘利亞部隊在坦克和狙擊槍手的支持下衝進基爾貝特埃爾尤茲鎮，使數百名敘利亞難民被迫逃到土耳其。
