At a rally organized by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Trabzon, participants chanted offensive slogans addressed to Armenians, Ermenihaber.am reports

At the event, Erdogan was talking about dying with dignity, instead of "dying like a woman."

The attendees cheered his remarks and went on to chant "Armenian bastards can't scare us." Footage showed Erdogan smiling instead of trying to stop the racist remarks.

Following the incident, Armenian MP from the Turkish parliament Garo Paylan pledged to file a lawsuit with the court.
