France will continue its fight against Islamic extremism despite criticism from Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and will not give in to "destabilisation and intimidation attempts," government spokesman Gabriel Attal said Wednesday.
France "will never renounce its principles and values," Attal said after a cabinet meeting, underscoring "a strong European unity" behind its stance against "Islamic violence" after the beheading of a French teacher on October 16.
