Turkish FM Mevlüt Çavuğoğlu.
Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said on Friday that Germany was pushing its limits at a Foreign Ministers meeting between Turkey, Poland and Romania.
“Germany is crossing the line. There is no benefit in populist remarks ahead of elections,” said Çavuşoğlu in response to German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel’s comments claiming that Turkey would never become an EU member state.
“It is clear that in this state, Turkey will never become a member of the EU,” said Gabriel in a scandolous interview with the Bild newspaper.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel had previously stated that Berlin would make no extra effort to maintain the customs union with Turkey.
