Turkish Police Fire Tear Gas at Syrian Protesters in Refugee Camp 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Turkey, riot police used a water canon and tear gas against Syrian
refugees who threw rocks as they protested against poor conditions at a
camp near the border. The Suleiman Shah site is one of the largest in
Turkey, housing roughly 35,000 people. Wednesday’s violence highlights
a growing regional crisis as Turkey, Jordan and other countries struggle
to accommodate more than one million people who have fled the two-year
conflict between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the rebels.
