President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized on Saturday foreign diplomats for attending the trial of two Turkish journalists, saying the diplomats‘ actions were against diplomatic etiquette.

„Who do you think you are? What is your job there? I mean there are etiquettes to diplomacy. This is not your country. This is Turkey,“ President Erdoğan said during a speech at the World Turkish Entrepreneurs Congress in Istanbul.

„You can make moves within the borders of the consulates but the rest is subject to permissions,“ he added.
