Turkey slams French magazine slandering Erdogan

Turkish presidential aide on Thursday slammed Le Point, a French magazine, for its cover branding President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an "eradicator", Anadolu agency reports.

"It is clear why they [the French] attack our president [Recep Tayyip Erdogan]. They are in panic as their game was spoiled and their pawn in Syria, PKK [/YPG terror group], suffered a heavy blow," Kalin wrote on Twitter.

The French magazine, slandering Turkey on "ethnic cleansing," is in a country, he said, referring to France, "which colonized Algeria, Gabon, Mauritania, Senegal, Guinea, Congo, Tunisia, the Comoros, Madagascar, Djibouti, Mali, Benin, Chad and Morocco, massacred thousands, engaged in slave trade, and turned a blind eye to the Rwanda massacre".

"Your days of colonialism are over," Kalin said, and stressed that the Kurds are not and will not be their proxy.
