Turkey is creating havoc for Armenians in Kessab, Syria

What is Turkey up to?  What's in the blueprint, the architects of which are USA and her allies?  Why are Armenians suddenly the  target? Are Armenias being targetted because Armenia is being protected by Russia and Armenians by and large support the Assad regime?  The vid below has the US State Dept statement commenting on the issue ... but if we take whatever is said by Washington at face value, then the only losers in this dangerous game will be we ourselves.

The Armenian populated villages of Kessab in Syria were the target of three days of brutal cross-border attacks from Turkey. Some 670 Armenian families, the majority of the population of Kessab, were evacuated by the local Armenian community leadership to safer areas in neighboring Basit and Latakia.

The Syrian town of Kessab,  once a popular holiday destination, has recently come under heavy gunfire from rebel groups linked to al-Qaeda. Armed men entered the town, looted Armenian shops and homes, taking families hostage, and desecrating the town's three churches.
