Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, the Secretary of State to the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, reacted on Monday at the microphone of Europe 1 to the insults of Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Emmanuel Macron.

INTERVIEW

Their handshake may be scrutinized. Emmanuel Macron and Recep Tayyip Erdogan will meet again on December 3 and 4 in London, on the occasion of the NATO summit. A meeting that looks tense, the Turkish president has not appreciated the criticism of Emmanuel Macron against the offensive led by Ankara in Syria. Echoing the sentence of his counterpart, who in early November ruled NATO in a state of "brain death", Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday: "First examine your own brain death."

"The Turkish ambassador agreed that the framework and the words were surely not the good ones," said Monday, at the microphone of Aurélie Herbemont on Europe 1, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, the Secretary of State to the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
