Turkish President Erdogan in Hatay

HATAY, TURKEY - APRIL 07: President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan addresses to the citizens during a mass opening ceremony in Hatay, Turkey on April 07, 2017. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called in his speech for further steps to be taken over the Syrian regime’s chemical attack on Idlib. Speaking at a rally in Turkey’s southern province of Hatay, Erdogan said it was the time to take “result-oriented steps to protect the people of Syria”. Although he welcomed American missile strikes on Syrian regime targets and said he considered it “significant”, Erdogan also said the measures were not enough. “After all this, it becomes inevitable that everyone should reconsider their positions,” he added. Early on Friday the U.S. fired 59 Tomahawk missiles at Shayrat Air Base, which American officials believe was used to carry out Tuesday’s deadly chemical attack, the Pentagon confirmed. The missiles were fired from two U.S. destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean and hit the air base at approximately 3.45 a.m. Syrian local time Friday (0045GMT). Aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, air defense systems and radars were targeted, the Pentagon said. On Tuesday, more than 100 civilians were reportedly killed and 500 others -- mostly children -- were injured in an attack carried out by the Assad regime warplanes in the town of Khan Shaykhun, Idlib province.
