White House condemns Erdogan remarks on Zionism

The US condemned comments made by the Turkish prime minister about Zionism. "We reject Prime Minister Erdogan's characterization of Zionism as a crime against humanity, which is offensive and wrong," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.

"We encourage people of all faiths, cultures, and ideas to denounce hateful actions and to overcome the differences of our times," he said. (Reuters)
