After the announcement of the Turkish authorities about the detainment of two Germans citizens believed members of the FETO movement and accused of the failed coup of last year, the German chancellor Angela Merkel has responded that Germany could re-examine its policies following the latest Turkish action. The latest arrests bring to 12 the total number of Germans in Turkish custody that Berlin considers political prisoners. Today the Turkish Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu said “When we arrest [a coup plotter] Germany starts to get upset. But what are we supposed to do?”, justifying their actions about the two citizens with Turkish origins. The relations between the two NATO allies have deteriorated sharply since Berlin started criticizing Ankara over the crackdown that followed last year’s failed coup.
