Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday hit back at Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders over an insulting cartoon he shared.
“FASCISM IS IN ON YOUR BOOK”
“Fascism is not in our book, it’s in your book. Social justice is in our book,” Erdoğan said at a meeting of his ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party in the eastern Malatya province, calling Wilders a “fascist.”
“The forces that make the world uninhabitable have put us on the target board because we disrupt their games and reveal their true faces,” Erdoğan said, adding: “We will carry on.”
His remarks came after Wilders, known for his anti-Islamic stance, shared on Twitter an insulting cartoon of the Turkish president that was denounced by several Turkish officials.
