Armenian Committees of Australia, NZ slam Erdogan coffin threat
Armenian Committees of Australia, NZ slam Erdogan coffin threat

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Armenian National Committees of Australia and New Zealand (ANC-AU and ANC-NZ) have condemned Turkey PresidentRecep Tayyip Erdogan's threat to return Australians and New Zealanders traveling to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day Commemorations "in their coffins like their grandfathers".

Erdogan let loose with these comments in light of last week's Christchurch terrorist attack, which resulted in the shooting death of 50 Muslims praying in two Mosques in the New Zealand town.

"Your grandparents (referring to ANZACs of 1915) came, some of them returned in coffins. If you come as well like your grandfathers (not in peace), be sure that you will be gone like your grandfathers," Erdogan said, adding "the enemies of Muslims have shown that they continue to hate us".

"They are testing us from 16,500km away, from New Zealand, with the messages they are giving from there. This is not an individual attack, it is organised."

Enlarged above, what Erdogan said, pretty outrageous.
