''West Cares More About Gays than the Syrians'' Erdogan

Reuters

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has slammed Western countries, saying they care more about gay and animal rights than the fate of conflict-stricken Syrians.

His latest anti-Western outburst came amid a standoff with the European Union over its demand that Turkey amend its anti-terrorism laws to secure visa-free travel in Europe for Turks, - The Star Tribune reports.

Erdogan said: "Shame on those who don't show sensitivity ... to the women and children who reach out to them for help."

He added: "Shame on those who deny the sensitivity they show to ... the whales, the seals and the turtles in the sea to 23 million Syrians."
