3:03 pm
running high at this press conference there between the 2 foreign ministers the turkish foreign minister. started with harshly criticizing germany 1st of all he said germany does not appreciate not turkish aphex when it comes to hosting refugees we know that turkey is hosting 3600000 refugees from syria more than any other country in the world and then he also said that the turkish military operation in north in syria has been and i quote him here disproportionately criticize been disproportionately criticized in germany and the german media he said trust has been breached so sounding quite angrily there and then he also mentioned the agreements turkey has reached with the u.s. and russia about the situation within syria and he emphasized that these 2 countries have recognized the legitimacy off turkey's over ration and this is the
3:04 pm
major source of disagreement here between the takesh and the german foreign minister because heikal mas as we know ahead of his visit clearly said that he considers the turkish military operation and i quote him an invasion that is not in accordance with international law he repeated this today and that was something you can you could clearly feel in this press conference this was causing a lot of tension all right so a tense press conference and the turkish foreign minister sounding rather angry as you described it saying that turkey is being unfairly criticized for its campaign in northern syria say to how to respond to all of this well yes the press conference was quite tense also last year at a similar time we had another press conference which was much more friendly than this one. made for important points that he said it was important for him 1st he said cooperation against the i.r.s. to continue that's very very crucial. for germany for turkey and for all of the
3:05 pm
allies the other point he made was that the cease fire should continue after the sochi agreement deadline expires which is going to be next tuesday by 6 pm and he said he got a guarantee from all of the plater in the question part said well we're not talking about guarantees for let's just say we gave confirmation the other point that was important for germany is that what i called the legal international law how the 2 countries perceive this turkey is a military operation that is very different and. so that was another point that made and finally he also said the most important thing actually which is what is coming up next week is the meeting in geneva where a new syrian constitution is going to be discussed so a political solution to the syria problem was the most of their final points that i must meet all right now yeah i want to ask you about this proposal by germany's
3:06 pm
defense minister who is suggesting there should be an internationally controlled security zone in northern syria kind of a controversial idea did that come up in the talks today. well it came up in the press conference but let me emphasize this is a proposal by the german defense minister not by germany's foreign minister there is no agreement within the german coalition government about this plan and this is of course something the tucker side clearly noticed so they said you know there is no agreement in the german government once they have a plan they can approach as we'll have a look at it and we of course appreciate any kind of help with our safe zone plan there but in the end. i dismiss this plan as a realistic could turkey it seems that is determined to go ahead with its own so-called safe zone plan so 1st to clear the area of the kurdish fighters which
3:07 pm
ankara considers terrorists and then starts setting up a safe zone and then returning refugees that but he clearly emphasized that any refugee who would go back to that so-called say so and would do so voluntarily this is something i was asking him about was pushing for so and they've shown no was keen on emphasizing that old would be voluntarily. all right so it's still clear that there's a lot of disagreement about turkey's activities in northern syria with regard to the refugees with regard to its campaign against the kurds saida tell us about just the state of german turkish relations these are some very serious issues that they're disagreeing on yes these are very serious issues that they're disagreeing on in the specially when all this military operation invasion of course that was something that the turkish sides fully rejected and president on afterward said
3:08 pm
anyone who calls this an invasion should be ready to receive the 3600000 syrian refugees living in turkey so yes the relations are tense but at the same time the 2 leaders made an effort to meet and hamas said it is better to talk with each other instead of about each other so there are some steps being taken baby steps but yes the relations will remain a bit tense status and are here in the studio and you know hunt for us in istanbul thank you so much to both of you. let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world in iraq relatives held funerals in baghdad and the city of najaf for anti-government demonstrators who died in violent protests on friday 42 people were killed and thousands were wounded hundreds of protesters gathered again today in central baghdad for another day of mass demonstrations. british police are still trying to identify the $39.00 victims found dead in a truck in essex earlier this week at least 2 vietnamese families now say they fear
