(ANSA-AFP) - ISTANBUL, 19 SET - The Turkish government has
condemned a headline in a Greek newspaper that insults President
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, urging Athens to take action. Turkey's
foreign ministry had already summoned Greece's ambassador over
the headline in Dimokratia newspaper, also available on its
website. The headline "Siktir Git Mr. Erdogan", which means
"fuck off" in Turkish, appears next to a photo of the president
in the Greek newspaper, which also added the English
translation. "On behalf of the Turkish government, I condemn in
the strongest terms the publication of insults directed at our
President ... on the front page of an extreme right newspaper,"
Fahrettin Altun, communications director at the Turkish
presidency, wrote in a letter to Greek government spokesman
Stelios Petsas made public on Saturday. He urged Greece to bring
to account those responsible for the "shameless" action.
