Talk:Australia–Turkey relations

New Zealand. Chistchuch massacre aftermath, Australian PM, Turkish President Erdogan and ANZAC ???
Turkish President Erdogan may be a strange person (Western judged at least), but why did Australian PM became angry over Erdogan's statement to have all dead Turkish victims back in coffins, just like all the fallen ANZAC soldiers from Gallipoli (apparently) were send back to New Zealand and Australia after WW1. Currently, I can't see any reason to why the Australian PM went very angry about this, especially IF the fallen ANZAC's were send back after that war. The article could explain this, I hope.

 * I don't believe Erdogan made that statement, but in any case that is not the statement that has caused a diplomatic incident with Australia. This news article does a fairly good job of summarising.  Essentially Ergodan implied that Australian tourists in Turkey might be returning to Australia in coffins.  Australia is considering issuing a new travel advisory for Turkey. This is relevant to the article.  Robert Brockway (talk) 01:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
