Turkey’s President Erdogan Calls For A Boycott Of French Goods

TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for a boycott of French goods and compared Europe’s treatment of Muslims to the way Jews were treated before the Second World War.

‘You are in a real sense fascists, you are in a real sense the links in the chain of Nazism,’ Erdogan said Monday in a fiery speech in Ankara. 

‘Muslims are now subjected to a lynch campaign similar to that against Jews in Europe before World War II.’

He spoke out amid outcry in the Muslim world at French President Emmanuel Macron’s hardened stance on Islamic extremism, following a terror attack in Paris.
