Inaction allows Assad to massacre, Turkey warns

Refraining from action against Syria is like telling Bashar Assad he can continue to massacre his people, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said Tuesday.

Israel Radio reported that Davutoğlu, while speaking to local TV station, said if no military strike was carried out against Assad’s regime, it would be “giving him a green light” to continue butchering.

Davutoğlu noted that, based on its intelligence sources, Ankara had “no doubt” Assad and his regime were behind the August 21 gas attack, which killed hundreds of people.
