Turkey Will Join International Coalition Against Syria - Says Turkish Prime Minister, Erdogan
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.
