French politicians called for football match between France – Turkey in Paris to be canceled. This decision comes in response to Turkish players military salute after Cenk Tosun’s winning goal against Albania.
If Turkish footballers do the military salute, they must expect to be treated as the soldiers of an enemy army. So we do not play football against them. The basics of sportsmanship are no longer there!
Jean-Luc Melenchon
Jean-Luc Melenchon is a French politician, leader of the Left Party and he has been labelled a “populist” by numerous different people. Melenchon presented earlier today the hashtag #AnnulationMatchFranceTurquie, while leader of France’s far-right National Front, Marine Le Pen, tweeted: “Being the platform of #Erdogan’s propaganda, whose actions in #Syria worry the international community, the Turkish football team has flouted the values of sport.
It is time for UEFA to sanction this political drift of the Turkish Football Federation!
