German Foreign Ministry summons Turkish Ambassador

The Turkish Ambassador was summoned to the German Foreign Ministry amid a scandal with Turkish football player Merih Demiral.

The German Foreign Ministry did not like the fact that the player demonstrated a gesture that is associated with Turkish nationalists in a match with the Austrian team. The ministry considers such a celebration of an athlete unacceptable.

Earlier, the German Ambassador was summoned to the Turkish Foreign Ministry due to the situation around Demiral.

Let us remind you that on July 2, the 1/8 finals of the European Championship took place between the national teams of Austria and Türkiye (1:2). The Turkish team has advanced to the quarterfinals. Its opponent will be the Netherlands.
