Türkiye summoned Germany's ambassador to Ankara summoned to the foreign ministry on Tuesday over the incident, the foreign ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic announced in a statement.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the insulting statements made by Mr. Wolfgang Kubicki, the Vice President of the Federal Parliament of Germany, about our President in a speech he delivered as part of the Lower Saxony state election campaign,” Bilgic said.

“These unacceptable statements of Kubicki are not befitting his position as the Vice President of the Federal Parliament and are completely devoid of political morality and responsibility. These indecent statements also give an idea about Kubicki's political and moral level and reveal his banality,” he added.

He also noted that Türkiye conveyed its strong reaction to the Ambassador of Germany to Ankara, who was summoned to the Ministry today. (ILKHA)
