The aim of this paper is to show how using an axiomatic approach to $$\omega$$-stable groups of finite Morley rank we can get some analogy with finite group theory. Notions and results connected to the notion of Sylow 2-subgroups in these groups are discussed. The following analog of the Baer-Suzuki theorem is proved: Thm. Let G be an $$\omega$$-stable finite Morley rank group, K a class of conjugate elements of G. If $$<x,y>$$ is a 2-group for all x,y in K then the normal subgroup $$<K>\trianglelefteq G$$, generated by K is almost nilpotent.
