Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed on Tuesday his call for Syrian President Bashar al- Assad to end the ongoing crackdown on anti-government protestors.

"I would like to appeal to Mr. Assad once again... What goes around comes around. The path you are following is not good. This path has a dead end. I would like to recommend once again that he get off this path before shedding more blood," said Erdogan during the parliamentary group meeting of his Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Erdogan's remarks come in response to the recent deadly bombardment of the Syrian city of Homs in an offensive to put down a revolt against President Assad's rule.

Erdogan said he was disappointed to see Assad "broke all of his promises. He massacred hundreds of innocent people on the anniversary of the massacre his father (Hafez Assad) committed in Hama 30 years ago."

"Those responsible for Hama were not called to account but those responsible for Homs will be sooner or later called to account," Erdogan added.

Turkey, once a close ally of Syria, has imposed on Syria a series of sanctions including an arms embargo in protest against Syrian government's alleged crackdown on opposing forces.
