NZ Foreign Minister told Turkey's Foreign Minister that it was unfair and dangerous to blame New Zealand.
"Anything of that nature that misrepresents this country, given that this was a non-New Zealand citizen, imperils the future and safety of the New Zealand people and our people abroad and is totally unfair."
Totally unfair that NZers should be in danger abroad or retaliated against, given that it was an non-New Zealand citizen.
