Turkey president asks Muslims to remain calm

Turkey's president has called on Muslims to remain calm in their response to the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday said protesters should act within the scope of law and democracy.

 

Protests in Gaza and the West Bank have led to clashes. Demonstrations in Turkey continue Saturday.

 

Erdogan says: "The fate of Jerusalem cannot be left to an occupying state that usurped Palestinians' lands since 1967 with no regard to law or morality."

 

Erdogan called Jerusalem "the apple of our eyes" and the "red line" of the Muslim world.
