NATO Rift: France to summon Turkish envoy over President Erdogan's 'insults': French presidency

PARIS (Reuters) - France’s Foreign Ministry will summon Turkey’s ambassador following insulting comments made by President Tayyip Erdogan, a French presidency official said on Friday.

Erdogan said that Emmanuel Macron’s warning that NATO was suffering from “brain death” reflected a “sick and shallow” understanding and that he should check whether he was not brain dead himself.
"I'm addressing Mr. Macron from Turkey and I will say it at NATO: You should check whether you are brain dead first," Erdogan said.

“On the latest excesses by the Turkish president, these are not statements, these are insults,” the official said. “We are expecting president Erdogan to clarify.”
