A Cologne restaurant selling a burger named after the Turkish president has closed after its owner said he could no longer guarantee the safety of staff, German paper Bild reported.
The 'Erdogan burger' contained a large piece of goat’s cheese — a reference to the recent controversy in Germany over comedian Jan Böhmermann's poem.
The manager said he closed because he could no longer guarantee the safety of his staff, but is planning to report the threat to police Monday and increase security, including installing a video surveillance system.
