Turkish fans booed during a moment of silence held Tuesday for the 129 victims of the Paris terror attacks before the start of a friendly international soccer match in Istanbul.

Players took part in the moment of silence on field before kick-off Tuesday between Turkey and Greece, but several fans in the stands could be heard jeering and booing during the minute.

Chants of “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is greater,” then broke out among fans, a Reuters reporter at the scene said.

Of course it's sad that the other incidents were overlooked, but it's still disrespectful, no matter what the moment of silence was for.

i agree that tragedies in other countries deserve attention too, but im just saying it will always be in extremely bad taste to "boo" when innocent people who's lives were lost to terrorism are being remembered
