Ankara Urges Berlin to Hand Over Wanted ‘Terrorists’
 [Asharq al-Aswat] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has asked Germany to hand over a group of people who are suspected of belonging to terrorist organizations as Ankara accuses Berlin of providing support for terrorists.
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu accused Berlin of not responding to 4,500 dossiers sent by Turkey on suspects. Turkish officials provided additional information ‐ to a German delegation visiting Turkey ‐ about people they believe to have links to terrorist groups, Interior Ministry sources said on Tuesday. The material has been sent to the Federal Crime Office and the BfV domestic intelligence agency for further investigation, the sources said. It was not immediately clear if the material included additional individuals or provided further information about suspected terrorist activities. Germany last week opened a second investigation into suspected spying by Turkey, following media reports that Turkish intelligence had given German officials a list of more than 300 supposed supporters of Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... , whom Ankara accused of criminal masterminding a failed July 15 coup. The list included telephone numbers and photographs, including some that may have been taken by hidden surveillance cameras. Erdogan said that he proposed the issue to German Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom... during her visit to Ankara in February, noting that Turkey handed over some gunnies to Germany. Yet when Turkey asks Berlin to deport suspects, the authorities do not reply and based on that Turkey will act likewise. Tensions are running high between the two NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure.... allies ahead of an April 16 referendum in Turkey that proposes expanding the powers of Erdogan. Berlin infuriated Ankara by cancelling several campaign rallies by Turkish ministers on German soil, drawing accusations from Turkey of "Nazi" tactics. Posted by: Fred 2017-04-07 |
