extends drilling in Mediterranean in response to Macron&#8217;s statements"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISTANBUL, Turkey (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>Turkey accelerated to extend the mission of the eastern Mediterranean oil drilling ship, Oruc Reis, until mid-November, in a new step of escalation after the recent French statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">French President Emmanuel Macron denounced Turkey&#8217;s behavior in Syria, Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean, accusing it of being aggressive towards its NATO partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Macron&#8217;s statements came on October 31, in televised interview to the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV channel during which he spoke about several issues, including the French position on the continuation of the Turkish interventions in a number of areas, including Syria and Libya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Turkey has an aggressive attitude towards its NATO allies,&#8221; Macron said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, he <a href=\"https:\/\/npasyria.com\/en\/49093\/\">denounced Turkey&#8217;s behavior in Syria, Libya and the Mediterranean<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Macron expressed his country&#8217;s willingness to cool things down, calling on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to &#8220;respect France and the European Union and their values, not to tell lies and not to insult.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He described Turkey&#8217;s intervention in Syria as an aggression against its NATO partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Ankara has not respected the weapons embargo in Libya, while it showed very aggressive behavior in the eastern Mediterranean,&#8221; he stated. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Turkey has an imperialist tendency in the region, and I think these tendencies are not a good thing for its stability,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;France continues to send messages to the Turkish side, especially as the EU is approaching the implementation of sanctions against Turkey at the end of this year,\u201d Obayda Abu Omar, a Syrian journalist, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;France became an obsession that haunts Turkey as a country with its own word and decision in the European Union,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The policy of escalation will further complicate the Turkish position and increase its international isolation,&#8221; Abu Omar added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Mustafa Mehmet Naimi, a Turkish political analyst, said that France continues to consider the countries of the Middle East as reserves and should be belonging to it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s why it\u2019s trying to race against time to get into the Syrian issue and annoy Turkey,&#8221; he told The North Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;France considers that it is outside the decision of the international system, and fears the Turkish ascent, so it is sometimes mired in declarations of implicit anti-Turkey, but the goal of the Muslims in fact, in order to invest the concept of its people to the risks of the return of Turkey&#8217;s power,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;In the foreseeable future, Turkey\u2019s responses to Macron\u2019s statements will be political only,&#8221; Naimi added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his interview with&nbsp;<em>al-Jazeera<\/em>, Macron condemned Turkey\u2019s behavior in Syria, Libya, and the Mediterranean, describing it as a shock and aggression towards NATO allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Sardar Hadid<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Turkey accelerated to
