Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticised Western media outlets that have recently tried to influence public opinion with headlines on elections in Türkiye. "We have achieved most of our democratic gains in Türkiye by fighting with the headlines," the Turkish leader said in a live interview with national broadcaster TRT Haber on Monday.
He added the West does not like Türkiye because it has rooted out terrorism."In the fight against terrorism, we have always been left alone. We pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps.""Do they like Türkiye which is getting stronger in the defence industry? Of course, they don't like us. They won't like us because we don't buy weapons or ammunition from them anymore ... My nation gave this answer to them on May 14.
