"The imposition of sanctions on some economic sectors is possible," Boone said, adding, "All options are on the table," including individual sanctions.

During an interview with the "Europe 1" radio program and "Les Echos" newspaper, the French minister pointed out the sanctions that had been taken against some Turkish officials due to gas exploration in the Mediterranean.

"We were given an opportunity at the recent European summit for Turkey, which sent small indications of calm and now it has chosen once again the path of provocation and systematic aggression," Bonn said, adding, "We will definitely go further."

Bonn stated that "over a period of 10 or 15 years, we believed that Turkey was a gentle Democracy-Christianity in the eastern way accompanied by a gradual contemporary," and added, "This was not the case, it adopts an Islamic, cultural and geopolitical hostile approach in all fields. Again in Nagorno Karabakh recently, so we must not be naive. "

Bonn stressed that "France is not alone in facing Turkey today, and there are no illusions in any European country about what Erdogan and his regime are."

It is noteworthy that differences have escalated between Turkey and the European Union since last August, against the background of the first gas exploration in the eastern Mediterranean.
