International community should take more stringent measures to stop violence in Syria, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during the phone conversation with Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Sabah newspaper reported on Wednesday.

"The use of chemical weapon in Syria by president Bashar al-Assad became "the last straw" in Syrian crisis. It is necessary to take more stringent measures after this," the Prime Minister said.

In addition, Erdogan also had a phone conversation with British Prime Minister David Cameron, during which the parties came to an agreement that it is inhumane to observe the bloodshed in Syria silently and it is necessary to stop violence in Syria as soon as possible.

Another escalation of the situation in Syria occurred on Wednesday, August 21, when a number of media outlets reported about the large-scale use of chemical weapons near Damascus by the Syrian Government Troops.

According to the preliminary data, over 600 people became the victims of the attack. National Coalition of Syrian Opposition claims that the number of victims could reach 1,300 people. After the incident the parties of the conflict repeatedly declared about their innocence, and accused the opponents.

The inspection is carried out on the case with participation of UN experts. Earlier the US president declared that the use of chemical weapon will be a "red line" for Bashar Assad regime. Some Western countries, as well as Turkey have already supported intervention to Syria, and several Media outlets reported about the preparation of Navy and Air Force of these countries to begin the intervention.
