French magazine targets Erdoğan in scandalous attack

French magazine Le Point - well known for its Islamophobic and anti-immigrant publications – has once again come to the fore with an outrageous claim.

The magazine attacked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as it has done before, using the president as their cover model and titling it as ‘’Ethnic cleansing, Erdoğan’s method. Should we let Erdoğan threaten Europe?’’

Its aim was to condemn Turkey’s Peace Spring Operation in Syria, which was distorted by the publication.

On Oct. 9, Turkey launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate terrorists from northern Syria, east of the Euphrates River, in order to secure Turkey’s borders, aid the safe return of Syrian refugees and ensure Syria’s territorial integrity.

Before Turkey’s presidential election on June 24, the extreme right-wing publication had used Erdoğan’s photo on its cover yet again with the scandalous title, ‘’Dictator,” never ceasing to attack Turkey and its president with its cock-and-bull stories.

The founding father of Le Point magazine Claude Imbert, who died in 2016, had in fact a huge influence on publication policy of magazines with his writing and opinions against Muslims and immigrants, as well as his racist remarks.
