I take it by ‘compatriots’, the article means fellow Turks.
I recall seeing a pretty fair-sized PKK demonstration in Berlin back in 2010; if Turkish Intelligence is involved, I gotta wonder if the three arrested men were spying on PKK members/associates/sympathizers?
Or maybe they were spying on members of the Gülen movement (Hizmet) which has a pretty sizable presence in Germany as well? Or, well.....who knows? MIT spies on pretty much everybody, LOL, and they strike me as keeping a sharp eye on Turkish expats overseas, especially those who might be involved with the PKK or Hizmet or other groups they deem ‘potentially dangerous’. I know there was a big raid in Istanbul on Zaman Today, a Gülen-owned newspaper in Turkey, the other day, and Turkey caught a lotta flack for it from the EU.
Interesting.
Germany - you should have kicked the bearded savages out a long time ago.
