Ankara’s references to the Nazi period over the cancelation of Turkish ministers’ meetings in the country must stop, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said March 9, Hurriyet reports.

"There are on the one hand many common European-Turkish interests and on the other hand there are profound differences between the European Union and Turkey and between Germany and Turkey - and we're feeling that again these days," Merkel told the Bundestag lower house of parliament.
   
"From our point of view it's worth making every endeavour to advocate for German-Turkish relations but on the basis of our values and our expectations and with clarity," she said.
