Turkey fumes after Italian PM Draghi called Erdogan dictator | Italy News

Von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel met Erdogan in Ankara on Tuesday. The Commission chief was clearly taken aback when the two men sat on the only two chairs prepared. Erdogan and Michel quickly seated themselves while von der Leyen, whose diplomatic rank is the same as that of the two men, was left standing. Official images later showed her seated on a sofa opposite Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. “I was very displeased for the humiliation that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen had to suffer,” Draghi, the former head of the European Central Bank (ECB), said.
