Turkish Foreign Ministry Welcomes US Strike on Syrian Airbase

Turkey welcomes the airstrike of the United States on the Syrian military base in Ash Sha’irat in the Homs province and will support any future operations aimed at ensuring Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government's accountability, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.


"We welcome the US operation early this morning targeting the Syrian regime’s Shayrat air base in the aftermath of the regime’s Khan Sheikhoun chemical weapons attack which constituted the latest example of the regime’s crimes against humanity and war crimes, committed in the last six years," the statement said.

According to the statement, Turkey would fully support steps to ensure accountability of Assad’s administration and to prevent impunity in case of conducting crimes.

"Turkey will continue its cooperation with the international community to prevent the regime’s continued practices of terror and mass punishment directed at its own people and to pave the way for the advancement of a political solution in Syria," the statement said.
