germany or elsewhere in europe only bosnia a majority muslim country allowed him to hold a rally in turkey's last election three years ago about sixty percent of turkish voters from germany supported the a.k.p. that's a much higher percentage than the party received in turkey itself. tickets electing campaigning in the german capital is good advice and his friends are canvassing for two keys pro kurdish h d p party this is for you but this is for the election in turkey were against another one they didn't do that well against airtel one ok i'll take one. is your left turkey because of president add on he's very concerned about politics in his home country. he's been. indicted and i've been in germany for six years. and many of my friends and my entire family are

still there and they're dissatisfied and we have to change it or topple this government. and that's why we're working from germany to support those who stand for democracy in turkey. to cry. but not everyone here is against and on these women are complaining for the turkish president and his a.k.p. party they don't like speaking to the gym impress me and initially brush me off as we are campaigning for the a.k.p. if you want we can take a vote by card on. this whose party colleagues from the age c.p.c. to present after k.p. supporters as a provocation then shout added one is that terrorist agha one is a murderer. a heated answer comes right back the passer by says you are the real murderer of us she's doing the right thing with you you don't sue if

it i'm happy that type aggro on exists oh the talk. is good tries to diffuse deceit to a certain he doesn't like these public disputes with take a piece of porter's he's not a good look we shouldn't insult but did you hear what they said if you decide you. want to know they are insulting you. to stay cool don't do the same thing as they do. such as the alexis instant turkey tensions are running high here ambulance german take his community people are divided by one simple question are you for or against riddick type add on. the riff in germany but they are more fired up about politics in turkey to take a piece of poor to say it's only natural this is internally is our real home land our families live there and we're doing this work here for them with god's help. those here is convinced there's more to it than that. if you don't suppose they

have an identity problem because they've heard a lot of bad experiences. that's why they want to vote for turkey and why so many support the a.k.p. . this but not everyone who does this. and it still is who don't support. is hoping to mobilize by canvassing for the h d p campaigning in berlin against a president but. they don't know reporting there from berlin well let's cross over to the w.'s chief political editor mckay there standing by our parliamentary studios michela as we just saw in the last election around sixty percent of turkish voters here in germany cast their ballots for everyone's a.k.p. can we expect a similar result. well who am i to predict election results but certainly. is seen as the representation also of turkish identity here in germany and this is

really what differentiates the electorates back home in turkey itself from those of one point four million turks here in germany who can vote and it seems to be part of this ex-pat syndrome that you then vote for your own country add one very much last time try to make that referendum that we saw here on the constitution certainly about whether you are on the side of turkey or whether you're on the side of germany so it became almost a vote on national identity as well and we would expect the campaigning to also go along those lines this time around having said that ad one is by no means as sure as he was last time to get elected it appears that this seems to be a much more united front amongst opposition parties so in effect this will probably mean that those voters have brought some three million will matter even more than

last time so do you have any idea how influential turkish voters are in germany there and what any idea what impact they might have on the selection what they could potentially tip the balance i mean in back in turkey the economic data is going downhill we saw a twenty percent full in the value of the turkish lira there in recent months so a lot more of a case to answer for on the side of russia. and if this becomes very narrow if it becomes a very narrow question whether this will go into the second round really versus the board could certainly tip the balance that germany has not allowed turkish politicians to campaign in this country has that perhaps worked against richard. well this seems to be the narrative here that says either you're with me you're

with turkey or you're against me the whole question of appearances of turkish politicians here in germany became hugely controversial also during that referendum there was and is now a ban ahead of an election and just a couple of weeks ago we saw turkey's foreign minister here for a commemoration ceremony for the victims of a near nazi attack who were of turkish descent here and many there this was a message of reconciliation he managed to keep politics in the domestic politics out of this now we don't expect there to be any such appearances but we've already seen an election campaign event also for german voters take place in bosnia interestingly enough so certainly that campaign is in full swing for all those potentially influential votes also here and. the killer thank you w.c.

political editor make it across. well mccain already mentioned as turkish voters are heading to the polls the turkish lira is going south florida that's what interesting enough terry the turkish central bank needs today only two weeks after an emergency interest rate hike and these are difficult times for the turkish economy i'm too of course its currency the lira a growing number of foreign investors i'm now pulling their capital out off techie since the beginning of the given. twenty percent of its value against the u.s. dollar the reason to pull out is part of a trend in twenty fifteen investors pumped eighty nine eighteen billion dollars into turkey a failed coup in twenty sixteen and so a way for rest and government employees fired foreign investments tumbled to thirteen billion dollars and there were some major investments from qatar the netherlands and spain last year but overall investment from abroad continued to decline to just under eleven billion dollars some major foreign companies are

afraid to invest in turkey and it's failing currency is a huge problem turkish firms have foreign currency debts totaling over two hundred twenty billion dollars in the weekly era of course makes it will difficult to repay the loans and for more on that situation in turkey i'm joined by. professor of international economics at constance university of applied science mr singh good to have you with us so what can we expect from that central bank meeting today. well the meeting is definitely very decisive today because turkey is confronted with a choice either the central bank today clearly indicates it is going to tackle that weekly euro and inflation in order to prevent a default or the large turkish companies and therefore prevent a potential recession that is looming in the background but of course if you do is

increasing interest rates with that that would be a clear signal at the same time this has a negative impact on the domestic growth and shit comes the second choice the government clearly indicated given the elections in particular it is not interested in high interest rates it is wilt basically to support companies which are in the in province and postponing basically. a solution of this economy problems in turkey so the economic rationale is very clear the central bank should react and should not postpone problems because the solution will be increasingly difficult well meanwhile of course we heard about a two hundred twenty billion euros debt that needs to be repaid and the creditors include the bags within europe also italy if that's dead concert be would paint with repercussions with that tough on the e.u. . this is a very important aspect in italy it's spain and these are exactly the countries

which have been going through a very difficult financial period and the central bank in europe had an eye on this loan positions with respect to turkey but in italy in particular you mention it this country is in a political on a stable situation and that link it should turkey will force european politicians to think about the potential bailout off turkey fire italy but i'm afraid that the german politicians in particular are not going to be happy about these kind of into linkages and dependencies just remember the discussions in germany that bailouts basically why should germans pay for mismanagement in other countries and given the rhetoric between germany and turkey over the postes years that will be a very very difficult situation also for the european banks and european politicians a nightmare if you want so now before the e.u. bails out key there's another alternative for one has asked the international

monetary fund for aid could do the same and what the i.m.f. stepping. well there is a major difference in the i.m.f. is a lender of last resort basically comes in if there is a potential to restructure governmental deputy particularly in turkey we have a large commercial private death which creates this friction some problems and besides that i have my doubts that the political will in turkey is existing to take in foreign international organizations i just want to. remind you that i don't himself was always boasting we as a as adept a country became now a credit to country and within the i am after that will be not very how right in times of the election ok that sense i know you. professor of international economics at constans university of applied science thank you so much. i think you. well it's the law
