Is it freedom of speech or insult? Charlie Hebdo's earthquake caricature made Turks angry

French cartoon magazine Charlie Hebdo's cartoon about the earthquake in Turkey continues to receive negative criticism from all over the world.

Not only Turkish society but especially European nations and other countries reacted to this caricature.

On February 6, Turkey was shaken by two separate earthquakes, the center of which was Kahramanmaraş. This earthquake is shown as the biggest earthquake disaster in Turkey's modern history.

Although the death toll has been expressed as 3-5 thousand until now, the fault line has been effective in 10 different provinces with a total population of 13 million, and tens of thousands of people are waiting to be rescued under the rubble in the cold winter conditions.

The image published by Charlie Hebdo on the same day of the earthquake with the title "Cartoon of the Day" reads "Earthquake in Turkiye. Even, no need to send tanks."

Charlie Hebdo is known for its sharp-tongued and sarcastic approach. Many of the cartoons they made in the past angered the target audience.

As such, publishing a caricature in this way about an event in which thousands of people lost their lives, were injured, and suffered, naturally drew a great reaction from all over the world.

Founder of Linguo platform teacher and enterpreneur Mohamed Hassissi who got 250 thousand followwers on Instagram said , "A big earhquake hit a country. And thousands of innocent people die including children and probably thousands of people will die cause they're under the rubble. Only people sick at heart find it funny and redicule that unfortunate. That's what French magazine Charlie Hebdo did."

Hassissi said that Charlie Hebdo used to do the same things before, refering the "hatred caricatures" about Prophet Mohammed in 2015.
