(Anadolu) Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Sunday hit back at Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders over an insulting cartoon he shared.
“Fascism is not in our book, it’s in your book. Social justice is in our book,” Erdogan 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,” Erdogan 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 which was denounced by several Turkish officials, including Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.
