Turkey ‘fed up with’ EU’s arrogant attitude, called on Germany to extradite “terrorists”

The Turkish nation is frustrated by the European Union’s “hypocrisy and double standards” toward Turkey, Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has said, noting that the government was consequently considering holding a referendum about Ankara’s future relations with the bloc.


“Every day, an EU foreign minister comes up and says: ‘Let’s throw Turkey out, let’s throw them out of the negotiations, let’s throw them out of NATO.’ We don’t deserve this treatment. Therefore, let’s ask our people and let the people decide,” he said Nov. 15 alongside German FM Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

“We are truly fed up with this approach that humiliates Turkey,” the Turkish minister said.

• Because of this reaction, “Turkish people put pressure on us to stop these negotiations,” Çavuşoğlu said. 

The minister once more called on Germany to extradite “terrorists” in the country, saying there were nearly 4,500 files about outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) members.

He asked Germany not to allow PKK members to live in the country.

Steinmeier said Germany was addressing the files in line with the country’s laws.
