\u201cOur deputy prime minister will be confronting those comments in Turkey,\u201d Ardern told reporters in Christchurch. \u201cHe is going there to set the record straight, face-to-face.\u201d Peters had earlier condemned the airing of footage of the shooting, which he said could endanger New Zealander\u2019s aboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite Peters\u2019 intervention, an extract from Tarrant\u2019s alleged manifesto was flashed up on a screen at Erdogan\u2019s rally again on Tuesday, along with footage of the gunman entering one of the mosques and shooting as he approached the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he summoned Turkey\u2019s ambassador for a meeting, during which he demanded Erdogan\u2019s comments be removed from Turkey\u2019s state broadcaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australian Brenton Tarrant, 28, a suspected white supremacist, was charged with murder on Saturday after a lone gunman opened fire at the two mosques during Friday prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI will wait to see what the response is from the Turkish government before taking further action, but I can tell you that all options are on the table,\u201d Morrison told reporters in Canberra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
