Until the world community takes decisive action against Syria, Bashar Al-Assad's regime will continue mass murders, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, the Sabah newspaper reported on Monday.

"Worldwide decisions are in the hands of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and it is - anti-democratic," he said.

The Prime Minister also noted that Turkey supports any action and decision which will be able to stop bloodshed in Syria.

Some Western countries, as well as Turkey have already supported intervention in Syria following another escalation of the situation there. On August 21, Media outlets reported on a large-scale deployment of chemical weapons near Damascus by Syrian Government Troops. Over 600 people were the victims of the attack.

Earlier, the US president declared that the use of chemical weapon is a "red line" for the Assad regime. Media outlets reported on the preparation of the Navy and Air Force of these countries to begin intervention.
