Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemns the "immorality committed against the Christian world" at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, and announces his intention to call Pope Francis on the subject. "I will call the Pope at the first opportunity to share with him the immorality committed against the Christian world and against all Christians.
