Turkey Demands Apology after Draghi calls Erdogan a Dictator
Posted on 2021-04-10 11:36:04
Turkey is demanding an apology from Italy's premier after he called President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan a ``dictator.''

The diplomatic standoff has deepened a rift between Turkey and the European
Union at a time when both sides had been hoping for rapprochement.

Italian Premier Mario Draghi made the uncharacteristically undiplomatic
comment at the end of an hour-long press conference devoted to Italy's
coronavirus pandemic response.

He was asked his reaction to Erdogan's treatment of European Commission
President Ursula von der Leyen, who was left without a chair during a meeting
on Tuesday in Ankara.

Draghi said Erdogan's behavior was inappropriate and that politicians seeking
collaboration with difficult leaders need to ``call them what they are:
dictators.''
