Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy described Macron’s statements as “unfortunate and unbalanced”, saying that they “conflict with the friendly and alliance relations between our two countries and cannot be accepted at all.”
Macron had accused Turkey in a documentary about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, shown on French television, “France 5”, that he would try to interfere in the upcoming presidential elections, saying: “This is written and the threats are not hidden. .. “
He accused the Turkish state of following “a policy of lies (…) and transmitted by the media that control it.”
On talks to resolve differences between the two countries, Macron refused to return to a “quiet relationship”, if there were “constant maneuvers” behind it. In parallel, the French president recognized the need to dialogue with Turkey and said: “We must do everything possible so that it does not turn its back on Europe and move towards more religious extremism or negative geopolitical options for us,” he said.
