Germany has rejected more requests for arms exports to Turkey during the past 5 months than in five years between 2010 and 2015, German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported on Tuesday.
The sharp increase in rejections, mainly handguns, ammunition and parts needed in weapons production, is due to “the risk of a deployment in the context of internal repression or the Kurdish conflict,” according to a written response by State Secretary Matthias Machnig to a question posed by lawmaker Jan van Aken.
“Respect for human rights is a matter of particular importance for arms export decisions,” the answer from Machnig of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy also outlined.
“This is a first step,” van Aken told Sueddeutsche Zeitung, “And the next must be that Turkey does not get any weapons from Germany,” the Left Party (Die Linke) law maker said, adding that the Turkish government is waging a war both within its own borders and in Syria while fast becoming a dictatorship.
Relations between Germany and Turkey are strained. Turkey’s plans to campaign in Germany ahead of the referendum were refused on several occasions and Turkish politicians, including President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, accused Germany of Nazi measures.
Eyes wide open about intent.
Erdogan the Islamist is prepping for the Referendum to make him Dictator for Life with Super Powers is near at hand. Will enough sane people see what is happening within Turkey? Does it make any difference, will he steal the vote anyway?
Turkey Ping
Germany rejects arms sales to Turkey.
cool
Past time for the Turkish army to step in and Nasser his sorry ass.
While it would be nice to disarm Erdogan and his Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist thugs personally, this ain't gonna do a thing but strengthen the German participation in the Globalist Elite war on law abiding private ownership and possession of firearms.
I'm sure North Korea would be happy to acquire and sell anything to Erdy for a profit, and about a third of the worlds governments will sell to them or directly to Erdy. But this will allow more Globalist pressure on PRIVATE suppliers, ...they might sell to Erdy, ya know.
This is an optics opportunity for the German Government to look like good guys, something they haven't been for more than a Century.
Germany’s in bed with Iran, but won’t export arns to Turkey?
Snort.
Fresh Erdogan threats:
Thank you sir. I was out this morning have not caught up on anything yet.
Could turn out to be a busy day then...;-) Erdogan terror threats, London terror attack...the gift (islam) that keeps on giving is not sleeping either...
Last night was WILD way up in the morning. Lots of unusual things happened.
I must reflect on that for later.
