Tension has escalated along the Syrian-Turkey border, with gunfire from Syria
injuring at least three people inside Turkey.
Two Syrian refugees and one Turkish translator were wounded in Monday's
incident when the Kilis border refugee camp in Gaziantep province came under
fire from the Syrian side of the border, a Turkish foreign ministry official
said.
Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught, reporting from Antakya in southern Turkey, said
the incident signifies "a remarkable escalation in tensions on this already
tense cross-border area".
The incident occurred as reports indicated that Syrian government forces were
trying to prevent refugees from entering Turkey.
Thousands of Syrians are sheltering in eight refugee camps set up in Turkey's
southern provinces of Hatay and Gaziantep, while others have crossed into
Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq.
Syrian rebels reject fresh government demands
Against this backdrop, a UN-brokered ceasefire agreement that is due to come
into force on Tuesday is looking shaky after Bashar al-Assad’s government
raised new, last-minute demands that were rejected by the country’s armed
opposition.
Under the deal, brokered by Kofi Annan, the UN-Arab League special envoy, the
Syrian army is scheduled to withdraw from protest cities on Tuesday, with a
complete end to fighting set for 48 hours later.
But Syria has since said it would only carry out its side of the bargain if
the rebels first handed over written guarantees to stop fighting, a demand
rejected by the leader of the largest armed opposition group, the Free Syria
Army (FSA).
China has urged Syria to stick to its earlier pledge to stop fighting and
start pulling back its troops, while also calling on the opposition to honour
its commitments.
'Criminal gang'
Colonel Riad al-Asaad said the FSA was committed to the peace plan but would
give guarantees only to the international community and not the Syrian
government.
"It is not a regime that is ruling the country. It's a criminal gang. So we
will not give guarantees to it," Asaad told Al Jazeera just hours after the
government issued its demand on Sunday.
Asaad said that if the Syrian government abided by Annan's six-point plan to
end the violence, the FSA would hold its fire. He demanded that the
government withdraw its forces to bases and remove checkpoints from the
streets.
Last week, Assad accepted the ceasefire agreement calling for government
forces to withdraw from towns and villages by Tuesday, and for the government
and opposition fighters to lay down their arms by 6am local time on Thursday.
But in a statement released on Sunday and reported by the Associated Press
news agency, Jihad Makdissi, Syria's foreign ministry spokesperson, said
earlier reports that the government would pull its troops from cities and
their suburbs by Tuesday were "wrong".
Makdissi said that Annan had failed so far to submit to the Syrian government
"written guarantees regarding the acceptance of armed terrorist groups to
halt violence with all its forms and their readiness to lay down weapons".
For his part, Annan urged Syria's government to fully implement its
commitment to the ceasefire, and he condemned "a surge in violence and
atrocities" that is occurring there.
He said in a statement on Sunday that the fighting is causing "alarming
levels of casualties, refugees and displaced persons" and that it must stop.
The truce is meant to pave the way for negotiations between the government
and the opposition over Syria's political future.
However, activists say Syrian troops are continuing their assault on
flashpoint regions.
Idlib shelled
Forces loyal to President Assad shelled an area in the province of Idlib near
the border with Turkey leaving dozens dead or injured, opposition activists
said on Sunday.
Around 90 tanks and armoured vehicles, backed by helicopters, bombarded the
al-Rouge Plain, southwest of Idlib city, the provincial capital, Reuters news
agency reported quoting activists inside Syria and on the border with Turkey.
The activists further said fighters from the FSA were surrounded in
al-Bashiriya, one of about 40 villages in the plain.
The Syrian National Council, as the main opposition umbrella group is known,
called on Sunday for UN intervention after monitoring groups said 86 of those
killed on Saturday were civilians.
Towns north of Aleppo have endured days of clashes and bombardment, prompting
3,000 civilians to flee over the Turkish border on Friday alone, about 10
times the daily number before Assad accepted Annan's plan 10 days ago.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish prime minister, said on Saturday the number
of refugees entering Turkey was rising.
"At the moment, we have 24,000 Syrians who have entered Turkey. Of course,
this number is rising," Erdogan said before departing on a trip to China.
"We are taking measures for this, though we will not close the gates. The
United Nations, however, has to toughen its stance," he said.
"In particular, Kofi Annan has to hold firm. He announced a deadline of April
10. I believe that he should monitor the situation very closely."
The UN estimates that at least 9,000 people have been killed in Syria since
the crisis began 13 months ago.
