Turkey leaves French journalist

Turkey leaves the French student journalism Loup Bureau.

Bureau was arrested at the border with Iraq at the end of July and imprisoned for charges of Kurdish militia. He wanted to report on the YPG, Syrian Kurds who fought against the Islamic state with the US coalition. Ankara considers the YPG as an extension of the forbidden Kurdish PKK.

French president Emmanuel Macron urged his Turkish colleague, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to leave office at the office last month. Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian repeated that week during his visit to Ankara.
