(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) ANKARA, July 30 (KUNA) -- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games last week was manipulated into a project of mankind degeneration.

He was commenting on a scene at the ceremony featuring a drag queen in parody of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic "The Last Supper" which angered religious people from across the holy faiths.
"The disgraceful scene in Paris offended not only the Catholic world, not only the Christian world, but also us as much as them," Anadolu Agency quoted President Erdogan as saying.
"Immorality displayed at the opening of the Paris Olympics once again highlighted the scale of the threat we face," he added. (end)
