| Turkey ‘Planning More Rallies in Germany’ despite Row | |
| 2017-03-10 | |
| [AlManar] ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... is planning more rallies in Germany ahead of a crunch referendum in April, its foreign minister said Thursday, despite an acrimonious row with Berlin after local authorities banned several campaign events. Mevlut Cavusoglu said he had already handed a list of the planned rallies to his German counterpart Sigmar Gabriel. "We expect Germany to solve this problem. We are planning around 30 rallies. We had informed German authorities of them all," said the minister in quotes carried by private CNN-Turk television. Turkey and Germany have been at loggerheads this week after local authorities blocked several rallies by Turkish ministers. Turkish politicians are keen to harness votes in Germany, home to a massive Turkish community, ahead of an April 16 referendum on whether to create an executive presidency in Turkey. "Mrs. Merkel is right, we have profound disagreements on some issues. For example the fight against terror," presidential front man Ibrahim Kalin told news hounds in Ankara. Kalin accused Germany of "opening its door to those leading the ’No’ campaign in the referendum including the PKK and other terror organizations," referring to Kurdish bully boys. The front man also criticized other European countries like Austria where Chancellor Christian Kern has called for a ban on Turkish politicians from politically campaigning across the EU. "We have a very clear message: don’t work in vain, the people will decide, not you," Kalin said.
