The French Military's Perception of the Turkish Military and Turkey's Expansion in the EastMed

To better understand the standoff between France and Turkey, Aris Marghelis conducted a study on the French military’s perception of their Turkish counterparts. Even though the relationship between the two countries deteriorated quickly after the Syrian and Libyan civil wars, the French military kept high regard for the Turkish army. According to Marghelis, they are perceived as ‘a challenge rather than a threat’.

Turkey has legal border to eastmed. Greece or France don't even have borders. Stop claiming maximalist antiTurkish things. Do not violate international law. As a secular Turk we don't care your manipulations. Obey the law !

France is angry about Turkey, because of Africa. Through good relationships Turkey offered Africa a fair Teamwork. Not like France who taking almost everything from them and keeping them poor. Now France looses African markets one by one and is crying like a child. Western countries has always been very bad to Africans and Asia. When you harm others, it’s just a meter of time that you will harmed too.
