President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin discussed an alleged chemical attack in Syria's eastern Ghouta which killed over 70 civilians on Saturday.

Erdogan voiced his concerns over the reports of use of chemical attack in opposition-held Syrian town of Douma, Turkish presidential sources said.

The Turkish leader also stressed the importance of halting civilian deaths in the war-torn country during the phone call.

On late Saturday, suspected chemical attacks killed at least 60 people and wounded more than 1,000 in Douma, Syrian medical relief groups and human rights groups reported.

Turkey strongly condemned the attack and said there is a "strong suspicion" that Bashar al-Assad regime, whose record of using chemical weapons is well known by the international community, carried out the chemical attack.

The Assad regime and its allies Russia and Iran have dismissed allegations that the attack was carried out by regime forces as "fabrications" and have warned against using them to justify military action.

Damascus and Moscow accused Israel on Monday of carrying out a deadly dawn bombing raid on a military airbase in Syria following the attack.
