Breaking: National security agencies are reviewing whether it is safe for Australians to travel to Gallipoli for Anzac Day services auspol | MaxKoslowski
National security agencies are reviewing whether it is safe for Australians to travel to Gallipoli for Anzac Day services, as Prime Minister Scott Morrison considers expelling the Turkey's ambassador over "highly offensive and highly reckless" comments by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Mr Morrison was wary of heightening tensions just one month out from Anzac Day, but told reporters that Turkey's official safe travel status was under review just weeks before hundreds of Australians are set to flock to the country for memorial ceremonies. Mr Erdogan, who is under two weeks away from a federal election, made the comments at an election rally in northern Turkey."You heinously killed 50 of our siblings. You will pay for this," Mr Erdogan said at the rally, in which he also aired segments of a livestream shared to Facebook by the Christchurch gunman.
