New Zealand's government has criticised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after he repeatedly displayed images of Christchurchi's glass attack before the crowd in the Erdogan election campaign, as he said he would take home “with coffin” anyone who would try to make such an attack in Turkey, adding that what Brenton Tarrant did was not just his job.
New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters rebuked Erdogan for using those images, saying they endanger New Zealand citizens when traveling abroad, translates Periscope.
Erdogan faces very difficult local elections because of the major economic problems Turkey is facing, including high inflation and the crisis under construction.
