From the Atlantic Wire:
News sites Dipnot and Son Dakika cited Foreign Ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal who pushed back against Perry's remarks calling them "baseless and improper" adding that presidential candidates should "be more informed about the world and be more careful their statements."
"The unfortunate views of Perry are not shared in any case by Republican party supporters, considering the weak support he has received in public polls and primary elections," he said.
In a more withering response, Mustafa Akyol, a columnist at Hurriyet Daily news, an English-language publication, tweeted "Rick Perry: what an idiot." The country's main broadcaster, TRT said "The debate that the Republican candidate Rick Perry attended on American Fox TV turned into a scandal that contained very ugly statements about Turkey."
