Turkey has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron over his remarks that described the 300-year rule of the Ottoman Empire as colonialism, saying that this "cheap approach" will not work for him in the upcoming elections.

This is the biggest escalation of the conflict between the two countries in several years, according to Reuters.
A spokesman for the French army said that due to Algeria's decision, "there will be no major consequences" for its operation in the Sahel region.
