this is to say beneficial and establishment our fall. go on the rise all with also in terms of the fighter f covered reliance, human my earth lamps, richer and or shaheen. have the no one source of i don't really feel honor for both germany and sir, before the day of early madison over the 14th of march, i'd like to get me to the nation, their names there. and so thank them very much. once again, morning to household this opportunity. okay. just a seems members of the president should we find it very important to have close ties with german worker in our region. where does roll market and what's been happening recently has shown that turkey plays a key role in terms of areas like security and energy gender. german really has are the leading all role in the youth is one of the leading job

countries in the european union. almonza, so our german revere friends, the army, the jailer hopefully will continue to show their collaborative good efforts to marine moving a turkish e. u. ties for moving furniture and especially in the field of education, the turkish journal university in stumbled with is of particular importance to us. it is an important springboard to go for our south really lives and with your esteem. chancellor, we have talked about this on the persons who are in particular area for mister shaw him also has also said on my own, is that a department or he ology campbell, establish ian in the university of an issue or german m a side of the university of in limbo will be out of the most center bench and there. and it also founded as soon as possible,

spinning of the of some go to song. when you look at the contract, this is part of the content. anyway, we're a dealer and by taking this step, oh my yeah, i on good. all saw on the german side, we would like to have a furbished german university or you as soon as possible and civilian within the structural wider saw. the compensate will do law in order for a gas earlier in the field of the all as you there. and mr. chancellor will have a look at that. and we will take the necessary steps in terms of the special road presented this very blended. i have it on 2 of our friends over going problem, the mystery ra, him cullen is going to continual invaded discourse and with mr. cullen, i will also have, you know, the m p, i'm really mr. charts, i mean sharla fulfilling out were fulfilling that responsibility and either

good or vendors you if you can either as seen chancellor will also point what 2 people are, which all hands will introduce them to each other. thank you sir. for lung lung. legally. thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to be here. when of course, i am very pleased that i can be in turkey as german chancellor. and i want to thank you for the very friendly discussion that we have. you will have noticed that we took a long time for our discussion, which gives you a sense that there was a lot to talk about. but it is also the proof of the fact that we can speak in a cooperative manner. we meet at a time when there is war in europe for the new something that none of us had ever wanted to imagine. although the danger was brewing over the last few years, the russian invasion of ukraine continues. there are atrocious images reaching us

from the media of from the east, especially of the country. and all of us, including myself and my colleagues here are glued to the screen. are terribly concerned about all of the people who are losing their lives and all of the families who are being destroyed in the destruction that is taking place in ukraine as we speak with president n. no n and myself are absolutely in agreement that the violent military conflict in ukraine must be condemned and that we want to see a ceasefire as soon as possible. it has to happen now, so that not so that we can save lives. they have to be safe corridors for civilians so that they can escape these areas of attack and view them. this has to happen as soon as possible, but in every single day with every bomb russia is got moving further and further away from the international community and our values. so

a clear appeal now to the russian president, stop this conflict, there can only be identical matic solution of it against this background. the intense conversations that we've had between ukraine and russia are important. they are talking we need to talk as well. and mr. elder on myself, talked a lot about the things we've heard from mr. put in mr. zoned gal, myself, have spoken to the russian president on number of occasions. i have spoken to the french president often and with granting president zalinski as well. and it's important that we do everything we can to ensure that we stay in a dialogue that there are conversations. but we also have to achieve results quickly. it can't just be a standstill. we are grateful for the efforts of our turkish counterparts for our colleagues in turkey. it is good that there are conversations as well between the ukrainian and the russian foreign ministers as well in their

presence. and this is all important and all the worthy thing to pursue. we're also grateful for those who volunteer to help in so many people who have fled their homes in ukraine. we know it's 1700000, the hundreds of thousands arriving in germany in turkey. many refugees have arrived as well. some turkish citizens haven't been ex patriots urging to safety from ukraine, but there are many others who have fled to turkey as well to seek refuge. so it's been very good that there is that support for them. and we also want to ensure that ukraine is in a position to defend itself. we are offering financial support to this and humanitarian aid. we have also offered wade and her aid in terms of weapons as has the turkey dismissal group. and so i want to say that closing the boss for us

before we're configured by ships is an important contribution to of defusing this crazy buffer central to new fine buffer. and we are pushing, as i said, with my colleague to achieve a ceasefire to get out of this conflict. now what's important now is to say that the territorial integrity, integrity, also and sovereignty of ukraine are non negotiable. and the violation of the sovereignty of ukraine is a violation of international values. and of course, it's important that as nato allies, the 2 of us work together and looked at those 2 countries. and we have discussed overall change to either security framework as well. and i have also informed group mr. edwin president there to when that along the east flank cove of the nature of

territory, we are reinforcing our strengths there. there's air policing as well. romania turkey is also doing and bit here, and we will continue to do this in the future. so what's important for us is to say that there's one thing we have to understand that the violent, flagrant breach of international law that russia has carried out here means that we need to be strong enough to hold our ground, which is why we need to ensure that we have a strong defense capability. you know that germany has put together an additional fund of a $100000000.00 euros in order to increase our defense capability in germany. and to ensure that we are able to guarantee the security that we want guarantee multiple to have lots of. we also talked about economic cooperation and indeed there is a great deal of room there for improvement as the whole not really does of touch

president has already informed you of some of our agreement that we have. and we want to establish specific dialogue out of regular dialogue on the options in order to take this even further. hi this, this is important but not just with germany and turkey in this sphere, but also between the european union and turkey. hope of obviously energy cooperation is at the top of our list. you'll be aware of the fact that germany has set itself the abs, vicious aim of phasing out fossil fuels very quickly for months if you are in not even 25 years less than that. that means for power generation from renewables winds former offshore onshore and solar bio capacities we need to improve as well. we're going to have to import some power to listen and will have to cooperate with others . hydrogen is another issue, but if you are such a big industrial country as germany, you will have to import of power from somewhere. and therefore,

we are also looking at how we can import renewable lights or the power of truth, as well as generating our own. we need to diversify ah, well energy portfolio within europe in terms of gas or oil and coal from other sources than from russia. because we don't want to blame, remain in our dependent situation that we find ourselves in. now we need to have a sovereignty to make our own decisions depend on them to, regardless of how geopolitical things development. and this is important in terms of working together with turkey, but also working together with others as well and setting up the l and g terminals . for example, on a coast as well, that will make impossible for us to important garza from other locations. now all of this has to happen quickly here so that we can diversify art energy portfolio in the long term. the aim that once we have,

i've already referred to crowd through this as democratic, democratic wasn't doable states. we want to work together very closely. cooperation within nato as an important foundation. and i believe that trans atlantic relations in these days have become even more important that we are aware of the fact of central north america, western europe, the european union. i'm lit, nato state co, including turkey need to work together very closely aware of the fact that we must defend our security. particularly when we're talking about a breach of the rule of law and democracy in human rights. because naturally this also means that our regional issues need to proceed as well. we need to improve our cooperation within a number of different areas. i'm very pleased about the talks they've had with them is really president and lucas and with the great with doesn't want authority as well the khaki. so these are important signs of where we need to be going with in

europe and in our cooperation and beyond. you want to talk, i, the e, u and turkey the working together closely. there are projects that we are working towards in the future. you're more really high ranking dialogues are part of this. naturally, we want to work towards end for improvement in the customs union and hope that we will get closer cooperation. there we continue to work together closely when it comes to migratory flows and the corporate, the work of offering people who are fleeing their homeless protection and refuge really are. and in the case of ukraine, what we're seeing is that these issues keep cropping up. it's not something that dealt with once, but as long as the world is as violent as it unfortunately is, there will be people who have to flee their homes, who have to find refuge. you have to see and find a new home for themselves. and for humanitarian reasons,

we must young will do justice to our commitments. we have good lateral relations theory and we need good laughter on bilateral relations. this is meticulously true because in germany, there are many citizens of turkish that is zen to some of the either they are kind of thought something of came to germany from target or their parents did or their grandparents did. and this is a very often vital part of our society in germany, but with you some info on the toy, ms. garcia opened the wonders and i am pleased with that in the july has a problem. at the bundle tag, we have plenty of burger buns of ethnic from turkish representatives help who are helping to steer the courses of our country. think under what of this problem we have close economic ties. and this is true for our bilateral relations as well. and we want to that we build on these and improve on them in but soon and naturally to further. and this has to be said as well. there are differences,

different views and things that are difficult for our relations when it comes to the rule of law. or human rights, or the perspectives of german citizens who are they can have her either arrested in prison or not allowed to leave their homes in business. i think we've achieved a bit of movement there. and i hope that we will find a mutually beneficial payable solution to these differences. we want to expand on our bilateral relations and we want to harness the full potential of your, our ability to work together. my government stands behind me. and i think after this conversation, i can see that we are both committed to achieving this. so once again from college president, thank you for the reception today. com. thank you for the long constructive conversation we were able to have and i of very much look forward to our future cooperation. talk talk to should good,

thank you very, very much transunion and so me me, mr. chandler, i talked to the, to the you up to you and then the urban head making very sincere remarkably well. i find them rather in what wardens for both candles goodish were still the dry chalk. so me, our talks, it all has really been cordial. obama thought you finished with it and then in the future, shake v as well. okay, hold officially was really high level strictly to oranges counsel for me in me take a look at those that m a z a project that the children will, that of course the related mentors wolf, what up the little, what's necessary you are special representative will look for the job do what is necessary. so as preliminary plans action will take place. and i do believe that

this high level job council meeting, we will be given a better equated telephone. but now from germany side, i'm from a turnkey side. we will have full of all the zillow questions. you had too much money in reserve and little missouri will have questions from the journal letter if all my other so from germany was from you are low. so our guest here, so please go ahead. first earth you just yet i'm on the floor goes to the german site 1st. yes, you know it's not i to vener miss linden crow from deutsche vello for president air dwelling unit up. you have talked about your military cooperation that german chancellor has talked about, the fact that nato partners need to work very closely together. what does that mean

for you? for your situation? how long will you continued to buy armaments from russia? did you express any wishes? well, had the german chancellor and will you agree to these allow sanctions that he by other countries have placed on russia and i'm used to as the shots. what see, something will you would prefer? would you rather turkey join the sanctions, allan men all neutral, he and therefore my remain may be more opened in order to lead. and im auction when it comes to brokering with some kind of its reaches, i taught you article between russia and ukraine and acting as a mediator this was a mil zulu, although shamar earned her. i was for the 1st the phone like to tell our journalism, friends, i don't the following. when you say military, do you live liberated, what does that mean? what the look at the 3 incorporations of on the under needs homes, one, it is

a should it an indication of military solidarity? isn't it? all the seller loves on to, to loser. you have the truck, heavy artillery. there mottled an airport until the air crafts you make use of all of them at nato. don't you? a lawyer saw at nato, we all of us are soon or my nurse with no germany, his 2 significant either and other countries or their love magneto hillier level. she raised her, saw grant's such a point in time where it is indeed very important. i just order totally thinner. consider this new you really and what we could do now in a she can do as it is to members of the natal. so last is on the old we have done. see la luz new weapons. the armament of your own from

morocco, russia. i see that you'd like to know about that. sheila, sheila was already there have been the weaponry shirts and we have received it so far that it on a well from the college. not so far. eric, you know, i mean it's rather early to tell you what the future good will hold, but it will depend on the circumstance. listeners valet voted, as i've said before, to the member in the presence today. so with mr. zalesky and wasn't able to put in either cor, remark roman boys. we have 2 or 3 on amicable terms, but when it comes to sanctions court already shares in that missouri, yours or we will draw lou, what is unnecessary? we have done what is necessary under the un realtors gardener and was renee. so countries have not been doing kick. renee up that we have done with this

image should look inside the ukraine. marina ownership ourselves from and to her military in asia, is also like vowing more than 50 drugs feel good. have been sent out to ukraine and we still are sending out trucks over there from bank. is it? so, mine has other large launches playing blown laurie, speaking for germany. i should 1st say that i think that turkey has spoken out clearly against this war in ukraine and has strengthened the importance of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine and defied defense it. and is actually on the sending weapons to ukraine, not just humanitarian aid. so i think if we're talking about where we go from here, it's important to bear that in mind. i think that the european union, i'm not fond of that, as well as germany and the u. s. b, for boy would like to see from by clearer and more precise sanctions placed on

russia that our model under 1000 of they ensure that disrupt the situation is very, very different than many you might have expected. the impact of these factions is greater than any one might have predicted, and it really is directly impacting on russia and so on. and then we're doing it because we want to ensure 1st a ceasefire. and then we've got an end of this violence and some kind of agreement that both sides consign to change their situation. now we need to remember that we're not negotiating on behalf of ukraine when we speak with putin with we do it. it's true for me for the french president, and i understood that that is true for the turkish headers the day as well as the israeli had to stay and, and for many others as well. look,

we are acting in order to help ukraine, but of course, ukraine fine must make the decision as to what is right to moving forward. for ukraine. the school would be presumptuous of any one else to try to tell them what to do. obviously they will decided to but what is clear is that the not so ukraine is a nation. it can't just simply being either eradicated morgan or whatever citizen, whatever language is the citizens of ukraine to big the people ukraine want to defend their country and didn't do so every day eric can do yes for, you know, all my again, the 2nd question from the german saldibar, my other diety a little my and they are, did german tv libra? her choice. mister schultz. yuvalar for going out in woody auxiliary predecessor, was occasionally accused of mom in smelling when it comes to human rights. last

night, we were closing her eyes entirely towards turkey. had the ready light on the agreement . what are you going to do? are you just going to give green life when it comes to wetlands, exports, and the turkish? and now a question to both of you. the turkish estate at once to ensure that died should bear laughing and voice of america have a license, and these broadcasters are afraid that this will lead to a central ship. what's your take on that? you don't miss the shots? answer it and yours president edwin. from dunc producer fargo, thank you very much with us. the question or hearing of him for the or the 1st of all, i think when it comes to my predecessor, she has never turned a blind eye to human rights. i mustn't count. i must come to her aid here and as little to say that, that simply not true that. and when it comes to you and germany, we concluded an agreement with turkey about the co operation when it comes to

migratory flows from that emerged after the terrible war as that took place in other countries where many people who fled their homes to turkey. we must never stop doing this. we must always bear in mind that many millions of refugees are in turkey and have found a new home for themselves. and the agreement that we made with turkey has to do with the fact that we wanted to give the turkish republic of an opportunity to do justice to this access to schools, access to housing, access into the labor market for these people who have led their homes and this is factored in, that's what it's about with his agreement, it's about an agreement to help people have read their hands before. that's how i saw it and that is how my predecessors died and that's how the european union sees it as well. having entered into these agreements, they are important to them. and if you will allow me to make a comment on one of the girl, i believe that we have the challenge for opening

a grand the job of them to not just looking after refugees when they're in our own country, but that we have a responsibility when there are large migratory flows elsewhere in the world, not just necessarily in neighboring countries like here, but in african countries as well. we can't just say, well, not our problem because they aren't knocking on our door and we need to do justice to my responsibility to them. and in this connection that we need the agreement that we have between europe and the board and turkey. and otherwise, it's completely clear, we support the deutsch evello. i referred to this in the president, we would like to have them a free, unobstructed way of reporting and turkey, and we are working towards this end. it seemed a day to get out of yes. so now let's take the questions from the turkish site,

mtv, to the visual nose. i will shoot them out. mister shaw, this question is for you in your treasury is a he needed grown little more live, says that a new security has now to come to target for matthew mercy. boswell was giddy mazda miata kyoto. let him go and talk to him. now lads, the engine of gymnast normally tank project. turkey, for example, has been hampered by germany as well. there is an implicit legacy embargoed. what will you take in step 2 and this embargo thanks to the fargo. thank you very much for that question. in nato we all worked together very closely. i think i've referred to a number of examples and the turkish president has as well one moment to get his co

operation will become increasingly important. i have already said that the tasks we have regarding the enhanced her forward in the presence along the eastern flank of nato territory is something we have reinforced and germany is also going to be increasing it's defense capabilities. after all, it's about having a german armed forces, bundis fair enough that is well equipped and in nato. and we are spending 50000000000 euros, which is a large sum of money. and this amount of money is going to be increased with our, our special fund. but as for an embargo, there isn't such a thing, there is a restrictive weapons exploit a policy that germany has. whoever has been in power in the government, it has led to the fact that we look at exports on a case by case basis, about one to we must keep reviewing our position,

but it's all set out by law. so that's the framework in which we are involved. earth again, g. yes. wouldn't goal. now let's take the 2nd question. all about g r. r. kush ideas, new z, gentle. sylvia, arkansas. my question is so much on my lieutenant as 959. you are so very excited in germany has awful, clever weaponry as well as my interior in aid, but to ukrainian unless said there, he said that it was the german refuses to have sent ammunition. and the all defense ministry has said the saying that to more than that germany m was hampering the 8. what would you like to say about elandis? i believe little many nato partners, including germany, have offered support, not just to manage harriann and financial support,

but also in terms of enhancing lead mahogany from the capacity of ukraine to defend itself. and for since 2014 germany has contributed, denies more to ukraine than any other country in terms of civilian support. and we continue to offer this support within the european union and by laterally as well. now, many have helped with self defense weapons from defense systems. germany is only one of the countries who has done so, but germany has also done so. no, it does regular, doing so very much resorts, the end of the press conference or between turkish president,

reggie dr. erwin and german chancellor shows that the 2 men met in the turkish capital today will be here to the studio. i did the chief international editor, a richard walker, and we'll go to the, to the turkish palace. and just to, oh, but richard at the start of that press conference statement from the president and then from the chancellor. and it was almost a sub there in 2 different meetings. don't talk about saying that we had, we talked about lots of things besides ukraine and then chancellor shoals opening by talking almost exclusively about you kind of been talking a few other things on the end. yeah. but it was interesting, of course, in this trip if there had been a invasion, if you train taking place then that litany of issues would have been a different one. but of course these talk to.
