Türkiye condemns a senior German official's insulting remarks against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Türkiye has summoned Germany's ambassador to Ankara and condemned a senior German official's insult against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"We condemn in the strongest terms the insulting statements made by Wolfgang Kubicki, the vice-speaker of the German Federal Parliament, on our President in a speech during the Lower Saxony state election campaign," Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Tanju Bilgic said on in a statement on Tuesday. Emphasising that Kubicki's statements are "unacceptable," Ankara stressed that Kubicki "is not suitable for the position of vice-speaker of the parliament.""He is completely devoid of political morality and responsibility," Bilgic said while adding that such "indecent statements essentially give an idea of Kubicki's political and moral level, and reveal his vulgarity.
Bilgic also noted that Germany's Ambassador to Ankara, Jurgen Schulz, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and a "strong" protest by Ankara was delivered.
