After Turkey, this time French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken directly against Russia. He alleges that Russia, along with Turkey, is funding anti-France sentiment in Africa.
“I am not talking about anything new,” Macron said. Many say, who gives the voice, who makes the video, who presents it in French to the media? – These are financed by Russia or Turkey. ‘
The statement was made by AFP on Friday, citing an interview with a Paris-based weekly magazine.
According to AFP, the interview commented on Friday was published by the French magazine Jean-Africa.
In an interview, Macron said that Turkey was a major contributor to misunderstandings last month when a teacher at a school in Paris (the French capital) legally showed a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in his class.
“When I decided to attack Islamic fundamentalism, my statement was distorted,” Macron said. It spread to Turkey widely through the Muslim Brotherhood. So it has a great impact on public opinion. Naturally, it has had an impact in Africa, including the Sahara.
“I did not speak out against Islam, I spoke against Islamic terrorism,” Macron said. ‘
“We don’t talk to terrorists, we fight them,” he said. ‘
“We are talking to different political groups, but not to the supporters of any terrorist,” Macron said.
In recent months, France has been in a tense situation with Turkey on various issues, including Syria, Libya and the Mediterranean. Turkey is the first to express itself in several steps from Turkey. Emanuel Macron even played a leading role in pushing for the European Union to impose an economic embargo on Turkey. But in the end, the European Union did not agree to take any action against Turkey now, considering various aspects.
