Turkey has taken a strong dislike to the Assad Regime and has consistently supported any group that seeks to dethrone it. The Turkish disagreement with Assad primarily stems from the human rights abuses that Assad is committing in Syria as well as Assad's former harboring of Abdullah Ocalan, the head of the PKK, a Kurdish paramilitary/terrorist group that operates in Turkey.
