French Consul General refers to Turkish song to describe troubled Turkey-EU relations
France's Consul General in Istanbul Bertrand Buchwalter has referred to the song "Don't Go, I Need You" (Gitme, Sana Muhtacım) by legendary Turkish singer Zeki Müren to refer to rocky Turkey-EU relations.
"Turks and Europeans should tell each other this: Don't go, I need you," Buchwalter said at a ceremony in Istanbul marking the start of his duties.
