HATAY
19 Syrians, including 2 soldiers and 1 injured person, entered Turkey at the southern province of Hatay's Yayladagi town on Thursday after fleeing from clashes in their country.
Sources told the Anadolu Agency (AA) that 19 Syrians, including a first lieutenant, a sergeant and an injured individual, came to Topraktutan and Gorentas villages of Yayladagi on Thursday and asked Turkish officials to let them take shelter in Turkey.
Following official procedures, the two Syrian soldiers were sent to the Apaydin camp, the injured Syrian was sent to the Antakya State Hospital and other Syrians were sent to Islahiye town of south-eastern province of Gaziantep.
On Wednesday, ten people were killed in operations of the Syrian army against opponents.
Syrian Revolution General Commission said that ten people were killed in operations in Golan, Der'a, Homs, Damascus, Hama and Idlib.
One of killed people was a child, the commission said.
More than 14,000 people, the majority of them civilians, have died since the Syrian uprising began in March 2011, according to the Observatory, including more than 900 killed since the truce came into effect.
UN-Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Kofi Annan presented a peace plan in March. The six-point peace plan includes demands for a ceasefire, the immediate withdrawal of heavy armor from residential areas and access for humanitarian aid.
The plan was presented to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on March 10 and accepted by him on March 27.
The ceasefire came into effect on April 12, but although the overall level of violence has dropped since then, al-Assad's government has been accused of failing to abide by key terms of the truce plan, including pulling all forces from urban areas and allowing peaceful demonstrations.
The number of UN monitors in Syria has increased to 212, according to the mission's website. All 300 monitors are due to be deployed by the end of the month.
