Today's Zaman: Turkish fans boo minute’s silence for Paris victims
Turkish fans booed during a minute's silence held for the victims of the Paris attacks before their national team drew 0-0 with Greece in a friendly international football game at İstanbul's Fatih Terim Stadium on Tuesday.
The mark of respect was observed at matches across Europe, including at Wembley, where France played England, after radical terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants struck Paris on Friday, killing 129 people.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras watched the game together, in a sign of reconciliation between the two neighbors, whose relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past.
