Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been criticised after telling a girl in military uniform that she would be honoured if killed while fighting.
"If she's martyred, they'll lay a flag on her," he told the sobbing girl at a televised congress of his AK party.
His supporters cheered "Chief! Take us to Afrin!", in reference to Turkey's operations against Kurdish fighters in Syria's northern Afrin region.
Mr Erdogan then kissed her face and let her go.
