A Turkish presidential aide on Thursday slammed a France magazine for its cover branding President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan a "dictator."
"A French magazine called President Erdoğan a "dictator'," presidential spokesman İbrahim Kalın wrote on his Twitter account.
"We know these attacks. We know what their purpose is. The nation and oppressed people see what is happening. Those days Turkey took direction from you are over. You can't bring them back by calling [Erdoğan] a 'dictator'."
Newsweekly Le Point this week put Erdoğan on its cover with the label "dictator."
