Turkey issues travel advisory for Germany
2017-09-10
[DW] The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry cautioned its citizens to take care in Germany during the election cycle. The travel advisory comes amid a worsening of diplomatic relations between the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and structure....
allies.


The Ottoman Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a travel advisory for Germany on Saturday, warning Turks of an upswing in anti-Ottoman Turkish sentiment ahead of the German national election later this month.

In July Germany cautioned its citizens about travelling to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
after a series of arrests involving German nationals, but the German Foreign Ministry stopped short of an outright travel warning.

"The politicianship campaigns in Germany are based on anti-Turkey sentiment and preventing our country's EU membership. The political atmosphere... has actually been under the effects of far-right and even racist rhetoric for some time," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"Ottoman Turkish citizens who live in, or who plan to travel to, Germany should be cautious and act prudently in cases of possible incidents, behaviour or verbal assaults of xenophobia and racism."

Turkey has accused Germany of assisting snuffies by not responding to files sent to Berlin and failing to hand over suspects wanted by Ottoman Turkish authorities.

'Terrorists walk the streets'
In its travel advisory, Turkey told its citizens that Germany welcomes terrorist groups, such as the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the network of the US-based Islamic holy man Fethullah Gulen

Terrorists "walk freely on the streets" of Germany, the ministry alleged. It warned that Ottoman Turkish citizens were being ill treated at German airports and that racist arsonists had lit fires in Ottoman Turkish-populated areas.

Following the failed coup last summer, the deteriorating rule of law in Turkey has prompted Germany to call for an end to Ankara's bid to enter the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
,although EU foreign ministers shrugged off the idea at a meeting on Friday, instead stressing the need for dialogue.

About 3 million people of Ottoman Turkish origin live in Germany.
