It is unacceptable that French President Macron, who has difficulties in confronting his colonial past in Africa, especially Algeria, tries to get rid of his colonial past by accusing other countries, including our country.
Turkey, which encourages friendship, not hostility, and is among the strategic partners of the African Union, develops its relations with both Algeria and other countries of the African continent day by day, and these relations, based on mutual trust and win-win relations, are progressing in a manner that respects the will of the countries themselves. .
‘REFLECTS A DISKNOWN MENTALITY’
If France thinks that there are reactions against it in the African continent, it should look for the source of these reactions in its colonial past and its efforts to continue them with different methods and try to correct it. To claim that these reactions are caused by the activities of third countries, instead of confronting and solving the problems related to their own past, is not only to deny a sociological phenomenon and history, but also reflects the distorted mentality of some politicians.
