Le Figaro managing editor says Erdogan is weak and his popularity in Turkey is collapsing
Journalist Eve Triar, managing editor of the French
newspaper Le Figaro, said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is weak
and his popularity is collapsing inside his country, stressing that it is
difficult for Erdogan to make his power continue like Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
During his speech on Tuesday at the Middle East Studies
Center conference in Paris, which is being held under the title “Turkish
interventions in the Middle East and their effects on world peace,” Triar added
that he feels Erdogan is a weak man if compared to other world leaders. He
stressed that Turkey cannot enter the European Union, noting that Turkey is the
armed hand of extremist groups around the world.
Triar said that Turkey is extorting Europe with the file of
illegal immigration and that it is receiving money from Europe as a result of
this blackmail.
