As reported by SKAI’s correspondent, Manolis Kostidis, the representative of the Turkish Foreign Ministry attacked the French president, saying that he has a problem with his country’s colonial past.
A new feud broke out between France and Turkey, this time on the occasion of his statements Emmanuel Macron from Algeria. The French president said that there are networks of political Islam activists supported by some countries, including Turkey, and targeting France.
As reported by the SKAI correspondent in Istanbul, Manolis KostidisTurkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanzu Bilgic attacked the French president saying: “It is extremely sad that the French president, Emmanuel Macron, made statements targeting our country, along with other countries, during his visit to Algeria.
It is unacceptable that French President Macron, who has difficulties dealing with his colonial past in Africa, particularly in Algeria, is trying to get rid of his colonial past by blaming other countries, including our country.
Turkey, which encourages friendship, not enmity, and is among the strategic partners of the African Union, is developing its relations with both Algeria and other countries on the African continent day by day.
If France believes that there are reactions against it on the African continent, it should look for the source of these reactions in its colonial past and its efforts to continue them with different methods and try to correct them.
Claiming that these reactions are caused by the activities of third countries, rather than facing and solving the problems of their own past, not only denies a sociological phenomenon and history, but also reflects the warped mindset of some politicians.
We hope that France, as soon as possible, will reach the maturity to face its colonial past without blaming other countries, including our country.”
