A Turkish presidential aide on Thursday slammed a France magazine for its cover branding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a “dictator.”
“A French magazine called President Erdogan a “dictator’,” presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin wrote on his Twitter account.
“We know these attacks. We know what their purpose is. The nation and oppressed people see what is happening. Those days Turkey took direction from you are over. You can’t bring them back by calling [Erdogan] a ‘dictator’.”
Newsweekly Le Point this week put Erdogan on its cover with the label “dictator.”
