[ad_1]

The whole of Europe is standing next to French President Emanuel Macron, following provocative statements and repeated insults by Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkish counterpart.

The French president published a series of messages on Twitter, which ended in the “union fist”, emphasizing the unity of Europe at this time and as the Turkish provocation intensifies, especially towards Greece and Turkey.

“We love freedom with passion, equality, we guarantee it, brotherhood, we live it intensely. Nothing will make us give up, ever.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has again spoken out against his French counterpart, whose recent statements on Islam have sparked strong criticism, protests and calls for a boycott of French products in the Muslim world.

A few minutes later, Emanuel Macron wrote the phrase “We are ONE” in English on Twitter, with the caption “We are united.” The phrase “We are one” stars in the song “One”, by the band U2, which was chosen by the family of Samuel Patti to be heard at the commemoration ceremony, last Wednesday at the Sorbonne, to the professor murdered by an Islamist.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his full support for French President Emmanuel Macron, who was verbally assaulted by Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan in an English post on Twitter.

Specifically, the Prime Minister declares:

“The personal insults against President Macron and the hate speech directed at France by Turkish leaders are unacceptable, fuel religious hatred and undermine peaceful coexistence” Full support and solidarity with @EmmanuelMacron of a heinous crime. “

The Foreign Ministry expresses its solidarity with Greece’s partner, France, in a post on Twitter.

“We unequivocally condemn the insulting comments made by the high authorities of Turkey against the president of the French Republic, as well as any motive expressed for hatred,” he said.

The President of the European Council condemns Turkey’s attitude and Tayyip Erdogan’s attacks against Emanuel Macron.

Charles Michel tweeted:
“Instead of a positive agenda, Turkey chooses challenges, unilateral actions in the Mediterranean and now insults. It is unacceptable. Respect for Europe and its Member States “.

Meanwhile, the EU high representative called Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s words about Emmanuel Macron “unacceptable” in a post on Twitter.

“We ask Turkey to stop the dangerous confrontation,” said Josep Borrell, adding that “the conclusions of the European Council offer a real offer to restart our relationship, but the political will of the Turkish authorities is necessary in this positive agenda.” “Otherwise, Turkey will be even more isolated.”
