Erdogan appears to be the victim of his arrogance
Turkish “CnnTurk” writes that the French MP, Muriel Marland-Militello, who has requested Turkish PM Tayyip Erdogan while he was addressing to PACE is of Armenian origin. Her mother was an Armenian and grandparents lived in Kadikoy.
“My name is Selian. My grandfather was a Turkish-Armenian. He knew Turkish very well. He used to speak Armenian also. But he didn’t know French,” 68-year-old French MP said adding that a Turkish family helped her grandparents to escape from Turkey during the genocide years.
Muriel Marland-Militello asked the Turkish PM that there was no religious freedom for the minorities in Turkey, thus how he could guarantee equal rights for all the religious minorities. Erdogan said that he would like to invite her to Turkey. “I see, you don’t know Turkey well and act under emotions. I guess the friend is French. We used to say “You are French to Turkey.”
In Turkish, when somebody does not know something or speaks out of context, it is said that he/she is from France.
