Turks were infuriated with the message left by American basketball player Danny Granger in his Twitter blog, Turkish Hurriyet reports.

The basketball player arrived in Turkey to participate in the World Championship. In his blog Danny Granger noted that Turks do not wear deodorant and smell “like dead donkeys”. After numerous complaints, he deleted the message.

This summer one of the members of Alice in Chains band, participating in a music festival held in Turkey, also left similar messages about Turks in his blog.
