After Turkish President Erdogan's recent actions would you believe them when they say we are safe to travel there?

The Turkish Embassy put out a statement saying they are ruling out a hostile environment if we travel there for Anzac commemorations.

This comes after Erdogan said that just like our grandparents we would leave in coffins if we harboured hate for Muslims.

He continues to play the video of the shooting on his election tour, despite Winston Peters being assured in a face to face meeting that he wouldn't.

International relations expert at Auckland University Stephen Hoadley spoke with Mike Hosking about the situation.
