Slideshow: Syrian Refugees In Turkey

Around 7,000 Syrians live in refugee camps along the Turkish-Syrian border. They fled to Turkey when the Assad regime quashed anti-government protests in the northern mountains last June, and have stayed put ever since. But in the wake of this weekend’s UN vote, many young men say they want to go back and fight.

Reporter Marine Olivesi visited the Boynuyogun refugee camp in Turkey where she recorded a poem (in Arabic) from one of the refugees. Ghazwan Haj-Issa wrote the poem after hearing about the latest violence in Homs. Ghazwan is a lawyer, but also a published poet. The poem is about Homs.
