ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey is unsettled by “anti-Islamic” messages in the U.S. presidential race, in which the Republican front runner called for a ban on foreign Muslims, Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Monday.

Donald Trump last month advocated banning all foreign Muslims from entering the United States, a recommendation he repeated in his first TV ad released last week.

In November Trump said he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey cheering the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York’s World Trade Center, an assertion that fact-checkers have not supported.

“It’s election year in the U.S., we’re disturbed by anti-Islamic remarks by some of the candidates,” Cavusoglu told a conference of ambassadors in Ankara.
