French President Emmanuel Macron lashed out at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for referring to him as “mentally ill.” France has summoned the Turkish ambassador to France for this.

A few days ago, a young Chechen man beheaded Samuel Patty, a history teacher who had taught a class using cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH). In this incident, Emanuel Macron vowed to fight extremist Islamists and defend secularism. “France will not give up on cartoons,” he said.

In response, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said French President Emmanuel Macron needed a mental health check. He said: ‘Emmanuel Macron is practically a mental patient. He needs a mental test. ‘

Erdogan’s comments infuriated the French president. He summoned the Turkish ambassador.
