France considers restricting imports of Turkish products
The worsening of relations between Paris and Ankara came after the insulting comments by Erdogan, who expressed doubts about Macron’s mental health.
The French authorities are preparing a series of retaliatory measures against Turkey following the offensive declaration by Turkish leader Recep Erdogan to President Emmanuel Macron. This was reported on Monday, October 26 by the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
After Turkey’s call to boycott French products, France is considering the introduction of economic sanctions, in particular limiting the importation of Turkish products.
Militarily, the possibility of strengthening operations in the eastern Mediterranean, where the Turkish Navy is actively present, is being studied.
Pressure could also be increased on Turkish influence networks in France, which are under the control of DGSI’s Directorate General for Internal Security.
The worsening of relations between Paris and Ankara came after the insulting comments by Erdogan, who expressed doubts about Macron’s mental health.
Earlier, the French president announced his intention to protect Islam in France from foreign influence and tighter control over the sources of funding for mosques.
This happened after the tragedy in the city of Conflans-Saint-Honorine, where an Islamic radical beheaded a history teacher who showed his students cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad as an example of the expression of freedom of opinion.
Erdogan previously said that Europe is nearing its end due to Islamophobia. He accused European countries of “fascist mentality” and hypocrisy, recalling the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
