Turkey, Kilis, April 30 / Trend R. Hafizoglu / Turkey and the Arab countries do not support the Syrian armed opposition, one of the Syrian opposition members, who requested to remain anonymous, told Trend. He added that the "Free Syrian army" buys all the weapons from the governmental troops. "The main source of weapons for us is the Syrian army, which sells it to us," the opposition member said. At present, there is an unsteady truce between the armed wing of the opposition - "Free Syrian army" and the governmental troops within the Joint Special Envoy of the United Nations and the League of Arab States Kofi Annan's plan.
