Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Draghi had sharply criticized Turkey’s treatment of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. She did not get a seat when she and EU President Charles Michel met Erdogan earlier this week. “I am very sorry for the humiliation to which the President of the Commission was subjected by these – let’s call them what they are – dictators,” Draghi said. Tyria reacted quickly, and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called Draghi’s statement ugly and unreasonable. The situation during the meeting between the EU leaders and Erdogan is referred to as a “sofa street” since von der Leyen sat on a sofa. Turkey denies all responsibility for the incident and claims the seats in the meeting room were in line with a proposal from the EU. – Related posts:Vaccination in Britain - the country will revaccinate every 3 months due to the Omicron strainTragedy Strikes: Male Teacher Commits Suicide Due to Work PressurePope's message for the 37th World Youth Day has been publishedNATO's Shocking Plan Revealed in Russia-Ukraine Conflict - News Update May 5th, 2024 The latest news on NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter, survivors of the ferocious freezing temperatures of Mars OM: members MC Hardliners extorted man with video of sexual abuse | Inland Leave a Comment Cancel replyCommentName Email Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
