Secretary of State John Kerry will on Friday express concerns to Turkey’s prime minister over his remarks branding Zionism a “crime against humanity,” comments that Washington considers offensive and wrong, a US official said, Agence France-Presse reported.
“The secretary will have the chance to express his concerns about the remarks” made by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a UN forum on Wednesday, a US State Department official traveling with Kerry said on condition of anonymity.
“We put out a statement from Washington making clear that the statement was both offensive and wrong and I am sure the secretary will be able to convey that to the prime minister directly this afternoon,” the official said.
