Some Turkish football fans shouted "God is great" yesterday and booed the opposing Greek team during a minute's silence for the victims of the recent Paris attacks, the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website reports today (November 18, 2015).
Watched by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras, a number of fans broke the minute's silence for the victims of gun and suicide bomb attacks in Paris on November 13 that left 132 people dead and were claimed by the Islamic State (IS).
The fans chanted "Allahu Akbar" (God Is Great), booed the Greek team, and also shouted slogans in favor of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul's Basaksehir stadium.
The game ended in a goalless tie.
