Rabat - Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized US President Barack Obama on Thursday for keeping silent about the killing of three Muslim students in North Carolina earlier this week.
Erdogan said that American leaders have not made any declaration of respect in time they should have taken a position.
Speaking on a visit to Mexico, the president said that Obama, Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry should have taken a firm position following the incident.
"As politicians, we are responsible for everything that happens in our countries and we have to show our positions."
"If you stay silent when faced with an incident like this, and don't make a statement, the world will stay silent towards you."
