Turkish attacks Assad

Turkish PM attacks Syria’s regime calling Assad “butcher”

Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has slammed Bashar Assad, saying the Syrian president will answer for the deaths of tens of thousands of his citizens. "If God permits, we will see this butcher, this murderer receive his judgment in this world... and we will praise (God) for it," Erdogan is cited as saying by the Daily Star Lebanon. "You will pay a very, very heavy price for showing your courage to the babies in the cradle, the courage you cannot show others." Turkey has openly sided with the rebels fighting to topple Assad's regime, taking in around 400,000 refugees as well as army defectors and repeatedly calling on the international community to act on the Syrian crisis.
