German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Thursday announced he would visit Turkey next week and said it was important not to "slam the door" on Ankara despite Berlin's unhappiness over its post-coup crackdown.
Cutting off talks with Turkey about joining the European Union would harm Turkish citizens as well as the government, Steinmeier said during a parliamentary debate in which he said he would visit Turkey on Nov. 15, Reuters reported.
