And im now joined right here in studio by did abused. Correspondent he would be
a hand thank you for running right into where you need to be in so lets begin with that speech that one gave he delivered it at last in cologne what was the tone of the speech was it what you expected yeah it was an Inauguration Speech at this huge Central Mosque in cologne and what i can tell you he seemed much more relaxed less tens than yesterday during all the political talks the Press Conference with Chancellor Merkel of course he was speaking to his supporters to people of the mosque menage mend and well about the mosque he said its a source of pride for millions of turks he called it a place of peace and he wishes that there would be more most like this in other german cities he used the opportunity to also come up with his summary of this visit he said despite all the criticism it was a good meeting so conciliatory words here from our don side he said he is thankful to Chancellor Merkel and mr steinmeier the german president for this
invite and that it was overall a successful visit it helped intensify german turkish relations and the friendship he said they were talking about important issues the talks were open and sincere so he was trying to sell this visit from his Point Of View as a success but as you already mentioned he also used the opportunity to put out some Critical Issues he said for example that germany needs to do more when it comes to siena Phobia Islamophobia he brought up the issue of miss wood again a player with turkish roots a very famous player who quit the German National team after the world cup did back row after there was a lot of discussion and missed it is for example said you know when i score im considered to be a german but if im not playing that well im suddenly a turkey. And this whole miss what is it a debate was
a huge debate in turkey as well and has championed a discussion or a narrative so to say against what it sees as growing Islam Phobia In Europe so this is something that mr atwan and other Church Officials would also always bring up there is growing sin a Phobia Islamophobia in europe and in germany and he also said that that germany needs to act more decisively against kurdish militants of the p. K. K. Group which is considered a Terrorist Organization not only by turkey but by the European Union still by germany and by the United States as well and he also asked for more action when it comes to supporters of the socalled Glenmore Movement This is a group turkey considers the terrorist Organization Germany doesnt officially consider it a Terrorist Organization but missed out on the German Government to classify this group as a Terrorist Organization as well Chancellor Merkel said well we are taking your
evidence very seriously but were not there yet we need to investigate more in order to come up with such a conclusion so you have president edwin came to germany on a Charm Offensive his mission was to mend relations between turkey and germany has he succeeded i think that the pens on the perspective youre taking if you look at it from a german perspective this was a highly controversial state is it there were protests here in berlin today in cologne as well against this visit by mr. We saw quite a number of scandals in the Press Conference with the german chancellor and at the state dinner later. Yesterday evening with president steinmeyer as well and especially you know when it comes to issues like rule of law human rights these are the issues where there are deep divisions huge differences between the two sides when you look at it from a turkish. Perspective we just heard miss out on he is saying it was
a success im sure progovernment turkish media will try to sell it like this as well todays headlines already suggested this was a historic visit its opening a new era in relations with europe with germany and they are hoping for strong cooperation so you know different perspectives differ and evaluations in the end i would say well you have thank you for analysis.
