If New Zealand doesn't do so, one way or another we will make you pay,&quot; Recep Tayyip Erdogan said of the terrorist, speaking at a campaign rally in Turkey’s Black Sea province of Zonguldak.</p> <p>At least 50 people were killed and about as many injured when a terrorist opened fire on worshippers during Friday prayers at the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand’s third-largest city.</p> <p>The massacre was livestreamed on social media, and was accompanied by the release of a racist, Islamophobic, manifesto that also attacked Turkey.</p> <p>&quot;You dastardly, abjectly, licentiously killed 50 of our brethren who were in worship,&quot; Erdogan said, referring to the terrorist.</p> <p>Words inscribed on the terrorist's weapons were &quot;a confession&quot; that he was targeting Turkey, despite being located so far away, said Erdogan. Photos of the weapons show the names of historical figures who fought Ottoman armies.</p> <p>Three Turkish citizens are among the victims of the terror attacks, Erdogan said on Saturday. </p> <p>Brenton Harrison Tarrant, a 28-year-old Australian, is being charged over the massacre.</p> <p>Later, speaking at a campaign rally in Turkey's northwestern Kocaeli provinces, Erdogan said Turkey has to be strong. “If Turkey stumbles, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Bosnia and Rakhine will also stumble,” he added.</p> <p>Turkey is a safe harbor for people — from Balkans to Caucasus and from Turkestan to Africa — when they are in need, he said.</p> <p>He went on to say Turkey is symbol of peace, tranquility and trust for millions of people across the world.
