Paris Match editor says negative propaganda is being made in the European media against the Turkish president
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan represents Islam and Muslims through his rising popularity and strong leadership, editor-in-chief of French-language weekly Paris Match told Anadolu Agency on Wednesday.
Gilles Martin-Chauffier, who described Erdogan as the "Charles De Gaulle of Turkey" during a discussion program recently, told Anadolu Agency that a negative propaganda was being made in the European media against the Turkish president.
"This [propaganda] reveals that President Erdogan has been very successful and is on the right path. Erdogan has a will which does not exist among other European leaders."
Chauffier, who has been strongly criticized in the French media for his opinions on the Turkish president, analyzed the claims of European media on "Erdogan's further authoritativeness".
"They consider President Erdogan as an authoritarian. I think two things lie behind it. First of all, the European political class sees Putin and Erdogan like this, because they come from a lower class. If you have a strong standing compared to others, it disturbs them.

“However, President Erdogan is a person whose popularity has been progressively rising, and his votes have been increasing from previous years to present. He has succeeded through democratic ways, through the free will of the public and elections."
Chauffier pointed out that Europeans think wrongly about Islam and were unable to associate Islam with democracy. "[Europeans think] there is no such thing as a Muslim democrat.

"It is possible for a Christian to be a democrat, but [they think] a Muslim democrat concept cannot exist in Turkey. They think these concepts cannot be associated with each other."
He said Turkey was dealing with the wrong perceptions being portrayed in the European media about the PKK-linked terrorism and Armenian claims regarding the 1915 events.

The PKK and its Syrian offshoot, the PYD, are both listed as terrorist groups by Turkey, although the U.S. and EU only view the PKK as a terrorist organization.
"French people do not know what the PKK is, they also do not know whether Armenian claims have any basis; however, they unfairly judge Turkey.
