Today, Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan harshly criticized his portrayal of a cartoon published by the French satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”, calling it “a despicable attack by bastards.”
In a speech in Ankara, Erdogan said: “I didn’t look at this picture, I don’t need to say anything about these bastards.” “My anger is not caused by the despicable attack on me, but by the insults to the Prophet,” he added.
And the Turkish president added: “We realize that the goal is not personal, but our values.”
Turkish anger over the cartoon increased the dispute between Ankara and Paris, which erupted after the beheading of a teacher who had shown these drawings to his students at a free speech lesson in France this month, and the French president’s comment on the incident, and his Turkish counterpart responded.

And he continued: “It is recommended to adopt the highest degree of vigilance, especially during travel and in places frequented by tourists and expatriates.”
