Turkish FM: Germany should focus on its own problems

Turkey’s foreign minister on Monday criticized German politicians sparring in a weekend debate for focusing on Turkey rather than Germany’s own pressing problems.


"The debate started with Turkey and ended with Turkey. The election isn’t taking place in Turkey, it is taking place in Germany,” Mevlut Cavusoglu told reporters in Slovenia while attending a foreign policy forum.

“Do German politicians have any other messages to present to their people besides Turkey? How will they solve the problems in Germany?"
