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:News - WC U20: Canada and Czechia win by nothingChina announces joint military exercise with RussiaTrump has often defended himself against China, now Taiwan is shrouded in concernMob lynches manager in Pakistan for insulting Islam, 120 arrested 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.
