Germany cannot let Turkish expats vote for a potential referendum on reinstating capital punishment in Turkey, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) Martin Schulz said, Hurriyet reports.
"If the Turkish government really does hold a referendum on reinstating the death penalty, it must be clear that such a vote cannot take place among the Turks living in Germany," Schulz told German Der Spiegel magazine.
"We cannot allow voting in Germany that contradicts our values and our constitution," he added.
