on germany what role does germany play in turkish strategic plans from the economic perspective a big big grow. wild turkey has been trying to diversify its. so trade ties it has been for moving towards russia it was china it's still overwhelmingly dependent on the you for trade and germany with within this. and that's not going to change anytime soon and taken it the other way round i mean german turkish relations we've heard that again and again the past few days very close over there a long period of time how much risk to turkey pose to germany is it too big to fail as an economy. that is i mean well to some extent the can legally surely be a concern for germany. of german investments and i think this is quite a bit. joan banks. beyond that for the big most logical step on the government level in germany would be around stability and what this means if the community stabilizes and sort of goes to visit extremes of what could happen are we looking at more increased migration into your journey with her be the number one destination for. entering europe right dyson there turkey analys

can germany and turkey find a way to get along. in this current crisis this economic and political crisis the facing what is to expect a hopeful from germany well i think hopes to get the advantage as it did when you when turkey was that you accession country he wants to get the same financial support he wants to gets funds he needs funds because turkey's economy is depending on you but turkey is not the same turkey any more and some in berlin even call it that add on republic so you know does is germany ready to give our don. what he needs i'm not sure i think we will have to we will be witnessing a change in bilateral relations but also a change in turkey's you process officially it's not ended but i mean you have mentioned the e.u. process e.u. has no leverage on un turkey anymore what could be a way to convince are gone or to make a move in a certain direction is of course the economy and dimension and as for. as i understand where they're going to try to do that but right at the moment the message from the german side is go an

what is it yeah so they have that but of course with germany as well it's not to say that germany has all you know everything for germany is going well because people recently there's a lot. who knows what sort of role that might pay in all of this we had two thousand and six pictures like the fairy tale for germany when it came to hosting the world cup and then it didn't we found out that there's a lot of there's a scandal or corruption scandal behind it that they were bought and i think this is also one of the reasons why germany is so desperate so nervous that in case they don't win it because i think they really want a new start they want to say hey we want to host another tournament at home but this time without any sort of corruption without any skeletons in the closet and this is also being shot. and killed and there's a lot of more gras in. well at the moment just the world cup and the kind of very quick and unexpected humiliating. and could have recovered some of the more than the looking at by march of life which is coming from you on up to you are far as good as let's take

germany you have no relation whatsoever to democracy. and you should know that your current actions are no different from those of the nazi period. do you like or for that kind of thing several times now it's not just an isolated occasion it gives one the impression that president one is a man who cannot be trusted that he can turn his back away from europe and european values values of the west at any time exactly and it's not just by discourse but it by by his actions policies. that speak to this he is you know he is known to make you know u. turns is known to. sort of not not to be reliable and therefore i think what needs what needs to be done from the german perspective is for for the german government to stick to its own principles and that values i mean going back to what my thinking is that earlier there are two important distinctions between turkey and the other countries you mentioned china russia u.s. one that turkey is still formally in the e.u. accession country so it is it should be expect it should be forced to you know yo

germany still have a role to play in international politics of course yes but frank germany's president has been quoted in vast couple of days as saying he's astonished how closely people around europe have been following domestic developments in germany in whole concerned they are. what do you think they see when they look at germany at this point in time address they see what i see what i'm concerned is that there are these big issues that are actually not being debated. when in fact germans think that ok they're they're doing a list of little things that they're being kept there they're keeping themselves busy they they're realizing that because of this dysfunctional coalition and which weakens the chancellor that there is no leadership on germany which happens to be the largest country in the european union which means that effectively euro zone reforms genuine migration reforms are stalled and some debates that could determine the future of europe and germany such as america withdrawing from the continent forcing the europeans and the germans to have to figure out a solution for th

on germany what role does germany play into your strategic plans from economic perspective a big big row. while turkey has been trying to diversify its. so trade ties it has been through moving towards russia it was china it's still overwhelmingly dependent on the new free trade in germany with within this. that's not going to change anytime soon and taken it the other way round i mean german turkish relations we've heard that again and again the past few days very close over there a long period of time how much risk to turkey pose to germany is it too big to fail as an economy. that is i mean well to some extent the can the can only be surely be a concern for germany. of german investments and i think there's quite a bit of that and john banks. beyond that for the big most large and so on the government level in germany would be around stability and what this means if the community stabilizes and sort of goes to this with extremes of what could happen are we looking at my group one priest migration into europe john you have her be the number one destination for a turks entering euro
