Deletion of the Apology Tweet by the Algerian Embassy in Ankara to Turkey and Its Reposting… A Scandal That Becomes More Complicated and the Algerian Maneuver Reveals Official Confusion
ALDAR/
In an incident that has stirred considerable controversy, the Algerian Embassy in Ankara deleted a tweet it had posted regarding an apology to Turkey and the denial of a conspiracy against it by hosting Kurdish separatists from northeastern Syria in the Tindouf camps. The tweet included an apology that could expose a controversial diplomatic maneuver.
These apologies, which came at a sensitive time, were merely an attempt to ease the pressure caused by thoughtless actions. However, the biggest surprise was the swift deletion of the tweet, which added more complexity to the scandal.
The oddity of the situation lies in the fact that, one hour after the deletion, the embassy reposted the same tweet, indicating clear confusion in handling the situation. It is evident that the deletion only amplified the scandal instead of calming things down, giving the impression that there was disarray in how the Algerian authorities dealt with the situation.
This behavior reveals a lack of coordination between the concerned entities and a lack of experience in managing sensitive situations on the international stage. The repercussions of this incident go beyond just a deleted tweet, as it has become a widely discussed topic, with many questioning the real reasons behind this poorly calculated maneuver.
Such low-level and exposed maneuvers reflect a weakness in diplomatic performance and harm the image of the Algerian system on the international level.
