The French president’s statements that Turkey acts as an imperialist power in Africa caused irritation in Ankara.
Attack on Emmanuel Macron launched on Tuesday the representative of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) of Tayyip Erdogan Omer Celik, as broadcast by Manolis Kostidis.
The French president’s statements that Turkey acts as an imperialist power in Africa caused irritation in Ankara.
“We condemn the statements of French President Macron who accused Turkey of being an imperialist power in Africa. It is known throughout the world that France’s colonial past in Africa exacted a painful price on Africans and that it continues to do so.” Celik said characteristically on his Twitter account.
“It turned out that French companies supported both the Islamic State and the PKK in Syria through French institutions. For this reason, it is a serious mistake that Mr. Macron, instead of apologizing to the Turkish nation, came forward and accused Turkey of being an “imperialist power”.
“It is wrong for Macron to reduce French foreign policy to anti-Turkish. With this attitude, Macron is harming the capacity for cooperation that should be produced in the face of the challenges facing NATO.”
We condemn the French President Macron’s accusation that Turkey is an imperialist power in Africa.
