Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli, in a speech at the party's parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday, said that Paris is not the only city where blood is being shed and called on EU leaders and the public to show the same sympathy when it comes to chaos in other regions.
"Of course, we should share the pain of the Paris attack. But, it is our incontestable right to ask for the same sympathy from EU leaders for Kirkuk, Mosul, Gaza, Damascus, Baghdad, Tripoli, Sana and Mogadishu," said the MHP leader.
Bringing up the mass killing in Nigeria, where Boko Haram killed 2,000 civilians in a small city on the northern border of Nigeria last week, Bahçeli said, "I do not want to compare but is 17 people more than 2,000 people?"
