Istanbul (AFP) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday welcomed Western strikes against Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad’s regime as “appropriate” in retaliation for Damascus’ “inhumane” attacks.
“We consider this operation as appropriate,” Erdogan told a meeting of his ruling party in Istanbul.
“The regime has seen that its mounting attacks in recent days against dissidents … will not be left unanswered.”
