DERKUSH
Anadolu Agency made an interview with the captive Syrian soldiers in Derkush town of Idlib city.
Assad's soldiers held captive by opponents said that they were forced to commit massacre against their own people, and wished peace and tranquility would be restored in the country soon.
Captive soldiers are being kept in several camps in Derkush, and wounded ones are being treated by opponents.
Yunus Mahmut Ali, one of the commanders of opponents and head of the camp, told AA that they were holding 115 soldiers captive, adding that some of the soldiers were high ranking, some were compulsory soldiers, while some others joined Assad's army on their own will.
Ali said that wounded soldiers would be taken to court after their medical treatment, and then a decision would be made about them, adding that they would not be executed. Ali noted that Islam did not accept execution.
Meanwhile, captive soldiers said that although they committed massacres, opponents behaved them well, adding that opponents were taking care of them and making surgeries on wounded ones, and giving food to them.
Lieutenant colonel Eyhem Ali, who had been in Syrian army for 24 years and captured on October 27, said that the incidents in Syria were painful, adding that all people in Syria were equal, and he wished that there would be no more bloodshed.
Noting that Free Syrian Army was behaving very well to them, Ali said that their need for food was met well.
19-year-old Muhammede Casi said that he had been a soldier since 2011, and he never joined the army on his own will.
Casi said that he would have been killed if he had not joined the army, adding that when a soldier attempted to escape from the army, he was sent to prison or killed.
Casi called on his friends in the Syrian army to surrender and join Free Syrian Army.
Another soldier Ahmet Resme Hole said that he was wounded in a clash near Idlib 25 days ago, and Free Syrian Army took him by a car and carried him to Derkush for his medical treatment.
