Erdogan had to wait in traffic in New York after speaking at the UN General Assembly
In New York, the motorcade of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had to stand in traffic after his speech at the UN General Assembly. This was reported by the Associated Press on September 24.
"The Turkish delegation was also stopped by police on Tuesday, as a result of which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was in line," the publication says.
As the YeniAnkara newspaper notes, the Turkish leader later continued his journey with the coordination of security forces.
On the same day, September 23, the car of French President Emmanuel Macron was also stopped. To resolve the situation, the French leader called the American leader Donald Trump. At the same time, after several minutes of waiting, the street was unblocked, but only for pedestrians, which forced Macron to continue the conversation with Trump.
The head of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called the stopping of Macron's motorcade a humiliation. The politician noted that after the incident, the head of state tried to save face by calling Trump.
