French President Emmanuel Macron as \u201cextremely inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Following a meeting of the party\u2019s Central Executive Committee, chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, spokesperson \u00d6mer \u00c7elik, said Macron\u2019s rhetoric reflects \u201cunwarranted arrogance,\u201d<a style=\"color: rgb(53, 152, 219);\" href=\"https:\/\/caliber.az\/en\"

media<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Macron stated on April 25 that France would stand by Greece if Athens faced a threat, hinting at one from T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAll our enemies, potential or actual, must be made fully aware of this,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The party spokesperson made it clear that Paris should focus on resolving regional conflicts and strengthening stability rather than issuing sharp statements about T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He accused France of attempting to build alliances in the Eastern Mediterranean that run counter to Ankara\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In conclusion, \u00c7elik emphasised the need for dialogue in the region and condemned what he called \u201cprovocative rhetoric\u201d that fuels rising tensions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The meeting in Ankara covered domestic political issues, preparations for the party\u2019s 25th anniversary, and the \u201cCentury of T\u00fcrkiye\u201d concept.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Addressing international developments, \u00c7elik also commented on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, tensions surrounding Iran, and broader global political crises.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He argued that the European Union faces internal contradictions and is unable to act as a unified political force.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Responding to statements by EU officials about \u201cprotecting Europe from the influence of Russia, T\u00fcrkiye and China,\u201d \u00c7elik described such rhetoric as \u201cideologically biased\u201d and indicative of double standards toward Ankara.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">By Bakhtiyar Abbasov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s ruling Justice and Development Party has rejected remarks by French President
