Turkey's Erdogan would support U.S. military action in Syria
ISTANBUL—Turkey would welcome US military action in Syria following a chemical attack that killed scores in Idlib province, and would be ready to assist if needed, President Tayyip Erdogan was quoted as saying on Thursday.
Ankara has been a steadfast opponent of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and repeatedly called for his ouster.
But Turkey's military action in the country has so far focused on sweeping Islamic State militants from its southern border and checking the advance of Syrian Kurdish fighters.
