Erdogan to discuss use of chemical weapons in Syria with Obama

The Syrian regime has used chemical weapons against rebels, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, adding that he would discuss the issue with U.S. President Barack Obama during his upcoming visit to Washington.“We will discuss the use of chemical weapons during the meeting with President Obama. It is obvious that the al-Assad regime is using it,” Erdogan told Japanese daily Nikkei in an interview. "The opposition dominates on land, however al-Assad uses chemical weapons, war planes and helicopters. The only field the regime is superior in is air backed operations. The regime is living its final moments but we don’t know when it will topple. This is a situation that will happen suddenly,” the prime minister said.
