A lawyer for Turkey's president says he is seeking a court injunction against the head of one of Germany's biggest publishing houses.
Mathias Doepfner, the chief executive of Axel Springer, has expressed solidary with a TV comedian who wrote a crude poem about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan's German lawyer Ralf Hoecker said Monday that he has petitioned the Cologne regional court because Doepfner had repeated an accusation of bestiality contained in the poem.
