Re-election: Scholz calls Erdogan and invites him to Berlin

After his re-election, the Turkish President was invited to visit by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. According to the government spokesman, both want to “approach the cooperation with fresh vigour”.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz congratulated Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his re-election in a telephone call. According to government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit, the SPD politician emphasized the close ties between Germany and Turkey, not least as common allies in the NATO military alliance.

“Both agreed to approach the cooperation between the two governments with fresh vigour, and to agree on common priorities at an early stage.” According to Hebestreit, they want to work together, among other things, on good development in the eastern Mediterranean, on the decisions currently being made in NATO and on Turkey’s relationship with the European Union. For this purpose, the Federal Chancellor invited Erdogan to an inaugural visit to Berlin.

Erdogan won the runoff election against opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu on Sunday. International election observers criticized Monday that he had “unjust advantages” in the election. For example, Erdogan used public funds for election campaign purposes. Public broadcasters would also have given the incumbent a clear preference.
