FRANCE vs TURKEY: Paris recalls the ambassador to Ankara
Paris has recalled the French ambassador to Turkey in the biggest escalation that began last Saturday. It all started with the horrific murder of Samuel Paty, a French teacher beheaded by a minor for showing cartoons mocking Muhammad.
President Macron had clearly called it an “Islamist terrorist attack” while urging France to resist such extremism “This is our battle and it is existential. They [the terrorists] will not be successful… They will not divide us, ”Macron said in the days after the attack. “One of our compatriots was murdered today because he taught… freedom of expression, the freedom to believe or not to believe,” he added. Macron also vowed to eradicate the radicals from French society. French education minister Jean-Michel Blanquer also attacked what he called "the monstrosity of Islamic terrorism" in a tweet and the government, for the first time, really started looking at the financial means of Muslims in France.
To these words Erdogan replied with mocking harshness: “What is Macron's problem with Islam and Muslims? He needs mental health care ”,“ he does not understand freedom of belief ”(a sentence that Erdogan applies, however, in one sense). “What can you say to a head of state who treats millions of members of a religious minority in his country in this way? First of all, (he needs) some mind control ”.
Following this offense, Macron responded with the ambassador's recall. Not only that, but Macron has also started a cultural campaign, and, for example, the famous cartoons have also been projected on public buildings:
Wow… Macron seems to have balls afterall.

France and Turkey face off against Libya, where the first is lined up with Benghazi, the second with Tripoli, and in the Aegean, where France has lined up directly alongside Greece. At the European level, Paris has been defeated, because it has not obtained the sanctions, and now it wants to take a more decisive position towards immigration.
