Several hundred demonstrators gathered in Al-Bab, a town controlled by rebel factions long backed by Ankara, brandishing banners reading: "The revolution is an idea, you can't kill an idea," an AFP photographer reported.
"We will not reconcile, we cannot reconcile, we don't want to reconcile," said Mr Sohbi Khabiyeh, one of the demonstrators who had been displaced from the suburbs of Damascus.
The 54-year-old described Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as a "criminal". "We will never reconcile with the Assad regime," he added. "Don't help Assad against us, stand with us."
The demonstration comes after the Syrian, Turkish and Russian defence ministers met in Moscow on Wednesday for the first time since the Syrian conflict broke out over a decade ago.
