Turkish
prime minister, Reccep Tayyip Erdogan, stated that his country will
take part in any international coalition acting against Syria.
He, however, stopped short of saying whether such action would be military in nature.
"We
have said that we are ready to take part in any kind of coalition and
we perceive this as a coalition of volunteers," Erdogan said shortly
before leaving for the Group of 20 meeting in St. Petersburg.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has gained support
of key figures in the US Congress, including Republicans, in his call
for a limited military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
for his alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians.
It will be recalled, that Turkey is one of the largest recipients of Syrian refugees, hosting 460,000 out of
2,000,000 people fleeing the war, according to the latest UN report.
