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.
With the latest operation, he said, “The regime has seen that its mounting attacks in recent days against dissidents… will not be left unanswered.”

Erdogan said he had a “sleepless night” as he monitored all the developments.
