Turkey's leader denounces anti-Trump protesters

By The Associated Press

Turkey's president is accusing anti-Donald Trump protesters in Western nations of not respecting democracy or the result of the U.S. election.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan (REH'-jehp TY'-ihp UR'-doh-wahn) also suggests that any leader who doesn't serve the West's interests is denounced as a despot.

He made the comments in Ankara, Turkey, at meeting of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation.

Erdogan said: "In America they started calling Trump a dictator. In various countries of the Europe they spilled into the streets and started saying 'dictator.' Why aren't you respecting the results of the ballot box?"
