Let's be honest though. Turkey does not care about human rights in Syria, or any other country for that matter. Otherwise, it would not have blossoming relations with the likes of Saudi Arabia and Sudan.
Ignoring for a second that Turkey's moves are being a dictated by the West, Turkey also has a vested interest in destabilizing the Syrian government. The reason is sectarian: Turkey is fighting to build Sunni dictatorships, which is in broader scope part of a new neo-Ottoman agenda.
Ever wonder why the safest place in Syria right now is the stretch along the coast from Tartus up to Sanjak of Alexandretta ("Hatay Province")? Because that is the ancient homeland of the Alawis, whom Assad is adamant on protecting. If all goes to hell, Assad will attempt to create an Alawite state because he knows that his people will suffer under Sunni dictatorship.
All thanks to Turkey's meddling.
