The representative of the French government noted that in recent days there have been "attempts to destabilize and intimidate the republic."
“Despite the intimidation, France will never abandon its principles and values, in particular - from freedom of expression and freedom of publication,” - quotes his words at a briefing following the meeting of the Cabinet of Le Figaro.
He stressed that, despite the "increased terrorist threat in recent days, fueled by calls for hatred," Europe has shown unity and reaffirmed its commitment to "the values defended by France."
Earlier, the Ankara Prosecutor General's Office opened a case against the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, which published a caricature of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
On October 24, France recalled its ambassador to Turkey over Erdogan's words about French President Emmanuel Macron.
As reported by Anadolu agency, the Turkish President recommended to his French colleague "to check his psyche."
On October 21, Macron, at a farewell ceremony for the teacher of history and geography of the Conflans-Saint-Honorine college who was killed in the suburbs of Paris, said that France would not give up caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
