Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has come out with harsh remarks aimed at US Secretary of State John Kerry for saying it was to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s credit that he is complying with the Russian-US-brokered plan for destroying Syria’s chemical weapons.
Erdogan also stepped up his angry remarks aimed at Assad, with whom he has been exchanging barbs, calling him a “terrorist.” His remarks came after Assad accused Erdogan of being not just a liar but also responsible for the deaths of thousands of Syrians and causing regional instability by supporting terrorism.
