In a surprisingly ridiculous way, Russia Today has both minimized ethnic cleansing in Syria and fantasized about Al Qaeda creating their own country within parts of Syria.
Via Russia Today:
Proxy wars, power struggles, Al Qaeda is expected to declare an independent Islamic state any day. What will that mean for Syria and for the Kurdish minority in particular who are affected by this?
I don’t think that what is going on now with the Kurdish militants is the beginning of a new genocide. I think this is now a struggle for power in that region.
