According to Erdogan, he had many meetings with Macron at international summits and, according to the Turkish president, his French counterpart “is not honest”.
“And we want international politics to be built on honesty. Where there is no honesty, there is no trust,” Erdogan said.
According to RIA Novosti, he said that Macron still remains in the presidency, but he has already lost his reputation in parliament.
Erdogan also believes that because of Macron, Paris is losing face on the world stage. According to him, Mali is in a state of complete break with France. The Burkina Faso authorities demanded that the French troops leave the country after a month. According to Erdogan, Togo will do the same. “France is rapidly losing its reputation in Africa,” he stressed.
In addition, Erdogan said in an interview that Turkey has not received F-35 fighter jets from the United States or the $1.4 billion paid for them.
