土耳其说，1500多名叙利亚难民星期四越过边境进入土耳其。土耳其外交部长星期五说，超过1万1千7百名叙利亚人目前在土耳其大规模帐篷营地生活，而叙利亚部队已经进驻到距离边境地区只有500米处。
叙利亚部队在这个地区的进攻还在继续，向反政府示威者展现武力。
美国国务卿克林顿说，边境形势令人十分担忧，并警告叙利亚从土耳其边界撤退。克林顿说，叙利亚在那里部署军队使处境已经非常艰难的难民更加困难，而且有引起与土耳其人发生边境冲突的危险。
克林顿在华盛顿对记者说，叙利亚军队应当立即停止在该地区的袭击和挑衅。她说，在土耳其边界附近集结军队是叙利亚政府企图镇压本国人民的又一迹象。
星期四早上，叙利亚部队在坦克和狙击枪手的支持下冲进基尔贝特埃尔尤兹镇，使数百名叙利亚难民被迫逃到土耳其。
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.
