The number of Syrians who arrived in Turkey to escape repression in their country reached 8,538 Tuesday with the arrival of nearly 2,000 new refugees, an Turkish official said.
The refugees come mainly from the town of Jisr al-Choughour, about 40 km from Turkey, where Syrian forces came in on Sunday to "expel armed groups." (AFP)
