Backlash for Charlie Hebdo cartoon mocking Turkiye earthquake

The newspaper “Charlie Hebdo” sparked a wide wave of anger on social networking sites in the world, after it published a cartoon mocking the Turkish earthquake disaster and the large number of victims it left behind.

The French newspaper published, through its Twitter account, a caricature entitled “Today’s Drawing”, which showed a number of buildings destroyed by the earthquake in Turkey, and commented on the drawing, “There is no need to send tanks.”

And the Turkish presidential spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, wrote in a tweet on Twitter, commenting on the photo: “Modern barbarians! Drown in your anger and hatred.”

The “provocative” comment on the tragedy sparked widespread uproar and a wave of anger, as it was an offensive and racist cartoon full of hatred, gloating and mocking the pain of thousands of victims and the afflicted.
