A host of top Syrian army officers have defected from brutal President Bashar Assad’s forces and arrived in Turkey.

A general, two colonels, two majors, one lieutenant and 33 soldiers have turned up, with their families, Turkish state television has said.

A total of 224 individuals are seeking asylum in the neighbouring country, also reported by private news channel CNN Turk.

They are being hosted at a refugee camp near the border. It follows the defection of four high-placed Syrian military officials – two brigadier-generals and two colonels who are all brothers – on Saturday.

And on Thursday a MiG fighter pilot, the first aircraft defection, flew to Jordan and was given political asylum.

Thousands of soldiers have abandoned the regime, but most are low-level conscripts. The Free Syria Army – the loosely linked group of rebel forces – is made up largely of defectors.

  1. I wonder how much they were offered to become traitors to their own people.

    BTW, it was likely paid for with American tax money. Nothing surprising about that, our tax money is always going to traitors.
