Turkish Minister for the European Affairs Egemen Bağış says The Economist’s cover picturing Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a sultan holding a gas mask, was simply “pathetic and ignorant,” Hürriyet Daily News cites Doğan News Agency as saying.
“The Economist did it again. A photoshop portrait, lots of hype and a long list of demands… I wonder when the last time this paper used so many modal verbs – ‘must’ and ‘should’ – in an article was, while trying to dictate to Turkey and its democratically elected government,” Bağış is quoted as saying on June 14 in Ankara.
