Turkey supports 'TRNC' rights - Bahçeli criticizes Macron
The leader of Turkish ultranationalists (MHP), Devlet Bahçeli, reaffirmed Turkey's position to protect the 'existence rights' of the pseudo-state. He stated that Turkey's interests in the Eastern Mediterranean would not depend on the approval of others. Bahçeli also sharply criticized French President Macron, attributing 'Napoleonic ambitions' to him. The statement underscores Ankara's unchanged stance on the Cyprus issue.
