Turkey’s government condemned Republican presidential candidate and Texas Governor Rick Perry for saying the country is ruled by “Islamic terrorists” and should possibly be kicked out of NATO.
U.S. presidential candidates should be “more knowledgeable about the world and more careful in their statements,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in an e-mailed statement today. “Turkey was a NATO member when the governor was a mere two years old.”
