Turkey condemns alleged chemical attack in Syria

Turkey’s president condemns an attack on rebel-held Douma near the Syrian capital, where activists and rescue workers say the Syrian regime used poison gas.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says women and children were “martyred.” He lashed out against Syrian President Bashar Assad’s international allies as well as the “West,” asking: “When will you turn round and look at these children, these women who are being killed in eastern Ghouta?”

Turkey has been working with Russia and Iran, two powerful Assad allies, to bring an end to the seven-year civil war.
