German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel hit out Friday against “interference” by Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Germany’s elections, after the Turkish leader urged Turks living abroad not to vote for parties from the ruling coalition.
“That is an unprecedented act of interference in the sovereignty of our country,” Gabriel told the RedaktionsNetzwerk media group, adding: “Erdogan’s interference in Germany’s electoral campaign shows that he wants to incite people in Germany against each other.”
