Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a topic of discussion these days. He is being ridiculed on social media. During the talks at the european Political Community (EPC) Summit in Albania, he held the middle finger of French President Emmanuel Macron and held it for a long time. There are a lot of comments on social media about this and people are laughing.
Many people wondered whether Erdogan was trying to show power to Macron by holding his finger. This act also shocked Macron. In the viral video on social media, Erdogan first holds Macron's hand and pats it. Things take a strange turn when Macron without thinking extends his other hand towards Erdogan. After this, when Macron tries to free his hand, Erdogan says something to him and holds his index finger.
