Ankara Views US Missile Strike on Syria Airfield as Positive Step : Deputy PM

According to CNN Turk, he said it was a positive step.

"Assad regime should be punished," Kurtulmus said, as quoted by Hurriyet Daily News.

On Thursday night, the United States launched over 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the Syrian military airfield in Ash Sha’irat, located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the city of Homs. US President Donald Trump said the attack was a response to the alleged chemical weapon use in Syria's Idlib on Tuesday, which Washington blames on the Syrian government.
