Turkey's Erdogan slams Macron over "brain dead" NATO comment
ISTANBUL, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Emmanuel Macron's comments on NATO reflect a "sick and shallow" understanding, telling the French president "you should check whether you are brain dead".
Erdogan was commenting in a speech in Istanbul about a remark made by Macron earlier this month saying NATO was experiencing "brain death".
