Turkish President Recip Tayyip Erdogan has denied involvement of Muslims in terrorist massacres saying that "French citizens carry out such a massacre, and Muslims pay the price", accusing the West of hypocrisy post the deadly attacks in Paris last week.

He also said that behind such terrorist massacres, lie "racism, hate speech and Islamophobia".

Erdogan's statement came a day after the France rally that was joined by world leaders to condemn the January 7 attack in Paris.

Erdogan spoke further about terrorism saying that such "acts follow a predetermined script" and we should be aware of a conspiracy against the Islamic World.
