Turkey on Sunday denied claims that its military opened fire on Syrian refugees fleeing clashes between ISIS jihadists and rebels in northern Syria, AFP reports.
Human Rights Watch on Friday accused Turkish border guards of shooting at the refugees as they approached the border in Syria's Aleppo province.
"As civilians flee ISIS fighters, Turkey is responding with live ammunition instead of compassion," HRW researcher Gerry Simpson said.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry, however, said the allegations had "nothing to do with the reality", adding that Turkey was hosting nearly three million Syrians who have fled the civil war in their country.
