Cavusoglu Says ''Merkel Either Hates Turkey, Or Loves the Gülenists Very Much''
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu slammed the reactions of German officials on the latest arrests of a dual Turkish-German citizen couple who are suspected to have links with ''Gülenist Terror Group''.
Çavuşoğlu: When we first arrest a Gülenists Member, Germany causes a stir first. What is it to you? They say: 'Why do you arrest our [German] citizens?' They are Turkish citizens at the same time. If they are Gülenists members, if they were involved in the coup attempt or supported it, why do you look after them? Why does it bother you so much?"
Çavuşoğlu's words came after two German nationals, a married couple of Turkish origin, were detained on Friday in Antalya Airport amid an ongoing probe on their suspected FETÖ membership, ANews reports.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel claimed that there is "no legal basis" for detention in most of these cases and saying that the government would "perhaps have to rethink" its policies vis-a-vis Turkey.
"Why do you give status to a traitor that had attempted to coup? Why do you give the right to seek asylum? It is because animosity against Turkey or because you love them so much?'', Çavuşoğlu said.
