This is rich: Syria issues advisory against travel to Turkey

As bad as things are in Turkey, I don't think they're quite as bad as they are in Syria. But don't tell Bashar that.

Bashar al-Assad's regime has issued an advisory against travel to Turkey. And I'm sure these Syrian refugees in a camp in Turkey will all be hurrying home.

The Syrian foreign ministry warned its citizens about the deteriorating security situation in several Turkish cities, and the escalating protest violence between the Turkish government and Turkish protesters.

Syria even called on Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan to stop the violent repression of the protesters, and if he can’t, then to resign.

The Foreign and Expatriates Ministry advises the Syrian citizens against traveling to Turkey during this period for fear for their safety, due to the security conditions in some Turkish cities that have deteriorated over the past days and the violence practiced by Erdogan’s government against peaceful protesters.

The advisory is similar to the one that Turkey published against travel to Syria.

Faster, faster....
