New phone conversations between French President Emmanuel Macron and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan came to light on Tuesday.
According to SKAI correspondent Manolis Kostidis, Turkish media report that the telephone communication took place in a cold environment, following the harsh expressions that Erdogan had issued against Macron.
Thus, from the “Emmanuel” and “Tagip” that the two men exchanged in their previous communications, in the communication on Tuesday, addressing each other with the address “Mr. President”.
Erdogan: It would be best to talk to us before making any statement.
Macron: We could have.
Erdogan: Let our foreign ministers speak
According to Turkish media, the Turkish president asked his French counterpart to raise France’s objection to Turkey’s participation in the European long-range SAM anti-aircraft system.
“Before taking any step, let’s see what we will do in Syria” was Macron’s response that put “ice” on Erdogan.
After the communication, the Turkish president said that they had a “calm and creative conversation” with Emanuel Macron.
Vexation…
Tayyip Erdogan is noted to have been (and is) irritated by a statement made by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on a teleconference on Wednesday afternoon.
Disgusted, the Commission president told Erdogan that “Turkey is a neighbor of the EU.”
“We are not neighbors, we are a candidate country for EU membership,” was the angry reaction of the Turkish president.
