Australian PM denounces Erdogan for 'reckless' NZ attack comments
Turkey's leader told a rally anti-Muslim Australians would be 'sent back in coffins' like their grandfathers in WWI.
Erdogan, while campaigning for local elections, presented the attack as part of an assault on Turkey and Islam and warned anti-Muslim Australians would be "sent back in coffins" like their grandfathers at Gallipoli - a blood-drenched WWI battle.
More than 8,000 Australians died fighting Turkish forces at Gallipoli, which has a prominent place in Australia's collective memory.
